Superintendent, Construction

JOB REQUIREMENTS

In this role, you will lead site development activities during the first 6 to 12 weeks of a project, taking the site from mobilization through rough grading, underground utility installation, and readiness for vertical construction. You will coordinate civil subcontractors, utilities, survey, inspections, and daily field activity while maintaining a sharp focus on production, safety, and schedule. Lead early‑phase sitework including mobilization, erosion control, access, grading, and underground infrastructure.

Coordinate installation of storm, sanitary, domestic water, fire service, and dry utilities. Manage survey, layout verification, inspections, testing, and documentation. Drive short‑interval planning and keep civil activities on track with a 2‑to‑4‑week look‑ahead mindset. Identify and solve field issues before they affect cost, quality, or vertical start dates. Enforce high safety standards for trenching, equipment operations, and daily site coordination.

Partner with project teams, subcontractors, utility providers, and inspectors to maintain momentum and accountability. Support a smooth turnover from sitework to foundations and vertical construction.

5+ years of field leadership experience in civil sitework, earthwork, or underground utilities. Strong knowledge of grading, storm, sanitary, water, dry utility coordination, and trench safety requirements. Ability to read and interpret civil plans, utility profiles, grading plans, and construction details. Proven ability to drive schedules, coordinate multiple moving parts, and keep crews aligned to milestones. Confidence working with subcontractors, inspectors, survey teams, and project managers in a fast‑paced environment.

Strong documentation and communication skills. Valid driver's license and willingness to travel as needed, with a preferred home base in the Southeast Wisconsin area. Experience in multifamily site development is required.
