A respected leader in heavy civil construction is seeking an experienced Heavy Civil Construction Superintendent to oversee field operations on large-scale infrastructure and site development projects. This company's portfolio spans highways, bridges, utilities, site development, and other complex civil works — built on a foundation of innovation, integrity, and teamwork.

The ideal candidate is a decisive, safety‑driven field leader who can manage multiple crews and subcontractors while maintaining the highest standards of quality, schedule, and accountability.

The role manages manpower, equipment, materials, and subcontractors to optimize productivity, assists with monthly cost‑to‑complete and revenue forecasts, and ensures materials are on‑site and on schedule to prevent delays.

Team & Subcontractor Management — The Superintendent supervises and mentors field crews, engineers, support staff, and subcontractors — fostering a culture of safety, accountability, and teamwork. This includes conducting daily briefings and weekly coordination meetings, and monitoring subcontractor performance against quality standards, timelines, and contractual obligations.

Safety & Compliance — Enforcing OSHA/MSHA regulations, conducting regular safety inspections, hazard assessments, and toolbox talks, and promptly documenting and addressing any safety incidents or concerns.

Quality Control & Documentation — Reviewing plans, specifications, shop drawings, and subcontract requirements to ensure accurate execution; monitoring workmanship and materials; and maintaining thorough daily logs documenting production, delays, conflicts, safety compliance, and stakeholder interactions.
