Site Superintendent

On behalf of our client, a well‑established industrial contractor in the Lower Mainland,  Match Box Consulting Group  is seeking an experienced site superintendent. Our client has recently launched a  new Heavy Civil / Heavy Industrial division  to support a growing portfolio of infrastructure and industrial projects across British Columbia.

This division focuses on  self‑performed and subcontracted heavy civil scopes  for industrial clients, marine terminals, and partnered infrastructure work. Projects typically range from  $1M–$10M  and involve hands‑on field leadership rather than large, layered site teams.

This role is ideal for a superintendent who has progressed through  mid‑size contractors  and is comfortable owning the site, making decisions, and being accountable for safety, schedule, quality, and cost.

Some  travel within BC  is required depending on project location.
