General Superintendent

Job Description

The role

BIDCO Marine Group is seeking an experienced General Superintendent to oversee field operations for heavy civil infrastructure and marine/underwater construction projects. Working alongside project engineers, superintendents, and company leadership, you will help plan the work, coordinate crews, and develop innovative solutions utilizing our insight, experience, and specialized equipment. The General Superintendent leads the execution of projects from mobilization through completion.

Your responsibilities will extend beyond day-to-day production. You will help establish construction methods and sequencing, anticipate field challenges, monitor schedules and productivity, and coordinate with clients, subcontractors, and project stakeholders. You will also mentor superintendents and foremen, build capable teams, and reinforce a culture of accountability, safe execution, and quality workmanship.

This position is suited for a hands-on construction leader who seeks meaningful responsibility, challenging work, and the opportunity to influence how a company builds—not simply oversee what happens on a job site.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, or a related field—or an equivalent combination of education and relevant heavy civil construction experience.

Experience

· Ten years of progressively responsible field leadership experience on heavy civil, marine, structural, industrial, or transportation construction projects.

· Demonstrated success directing field operations, managing competing priorities, and delivering projects safely and efficiently.

· Experience building and leading crews with clear expectations for safety, workmanship, accountability, and productivity.

· Experience coordinating with project managers, project engineers, owners, design consultants, and public or private clients, including municipalities, NYCDEP, NYPA, departments of transportation, USACOE, ports, utilities, or industrial facilities.

· A record of resolving challenging field conditions and making timely, practical decisions in a fast-paced construction environment.

Skills

· Effective leadership and sound judgment, with the ability to provide clear direction and maintain progress through complex construction challenges.

· Thorough understanding of heavy civil construction methods, work sequencing, production planning, and self-performed construction operations.

· Ability to interpret and apply construction drawings, specifications, contract requirements, and technical documentation.

· Proficiency with construction management software and Microsoft Office applications.

· Strong planning and organizational skills, including the ability to coordinate personnel, equipment, and resources across multiple projects and competing deadlines.

· Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to maintain productive relationships with clients, project teams, subcontractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

· Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, including evaluating field risks and selecting practical, effective solutions.

· Ability to mentor superintendents, foremen, and crews while encouraging safety, accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

At BIDCO, field leaders have a voice and the responsibility to turn plans into results. We value professionals who exercise sound judgment, solve problems, and take ownership of their work. As General Superintendent, you will work closely with project engineers, dive managers, and company leadership to guide construction operations, support our crews, and uphold the highest standards for safety, quality, and performance.
