Civil General Superintendent

We are seeking an experienced Civil General Superintendent to lead the safe, efficient, and high-quality delivery of major civil construction projects. The successful candidate will oversee field operations from mobilisation through completion, coordinating supervisors, subcontractors, suppliers, plant, materials, and labour to ensure works are delivered in accordance with approved designs, specifications, programmes, and contractual requirements.

Key responsibilities will include planning and managing daily construction activities; allocating resources and monitoring productivity; coordinating earthworks, drainage, utilities, concrete, pavements, structures, and associated civil works; and ensuring interfaces between trades and project teams are effectively managed. You will review construction methodologies, resolve site issues, monitor progress against programme, and contribute to short- and medium-term planning. The role will also require regular inspections to maintain quality standards, accurate reporting of progress and costs, effective management of subcontractor performance, and close collaboration with project managers, engineers, consultants, and client representatives.

A strong commitment to health, safety, environmental, and quality requirements is essential, including leading toolbox meetings, enforcing safe work practices, and addressing risks promptly.

Applicants should have substantial experience supervising large-scale civil construction projects in a general superintendent, construction superintendent, or senior site management role. Relevant experience across infrastructure, roads, utilities, earthworks, or major structures will be highly regarded. You will need strong knowledge of construction methods, sequencing, temporary works, quality assurance, environmental controls, and applicable legislation and standards. Excellent leadership, communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills are required, together with the ability to make sound decisions in a demanding site environment.

A relevant trade, technical, or tertiary qualification, along with appropriate site-based safety credentials and a current driver’s licence, is preferred. The role may involve working across active construction sites and requires flexibility to meet project demands.
