We are seeking an experienced Superintendent for Underground Wet Utilities to oversee the safe, efficient and timely delivery of underground utility works across active construction sites. The successful candidate will be responsible for supervising site operations involving water, drainage, sewerage, stormwater and associated wet utility infrastructure, ensuring all works are completed to the required design, quality and safety standards.

Key responsibilities will include planning daily activities, coordinating labour, plant, materials and subcontractors, and monitoring progress against the agreed programme. You will interpret drawings, specifications and method statements, identify potential risks and resolve technical or logistical issues in collaboration with project management and engineering teams. The role will involve supervising excavation, trenching, shoring, pipe installation, manhole construction, backfilling, testing and reinstatement activities. You will also ensure that permits, inspections, testing records and as-built information are properly maintained, while liaising with other trades and stakeholders to prevent clashes and disruption.

Applicants must have substantial experience supervising underground wet utilities on major civil engineering, infrastructure or building projects. A strong understanding of utility installation methods, ground conditions, temporary works, surveying and relevant health and safety requirements is essential. You should be confident leading site teams, allocating resources and maintaining high standards of workmanship in demanding environments. The ability to read and interpret construction drawings, communicate clearly with colleagues and subcontractors, and provide accurate progress updates is required. Relevant industry qualifications, site supervision certification and experience working within regulated construction environments would be advantageous. This position requires a proactive, organised individual who can work under pressure, demonstrate sound decision-making and take ownership of delivery from mobilisation through to completion.
