Site Superintendent

Site Superintendent

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Civil Site Superintendent to lead large-scale site development projects from preconstruction through completion. This role is ideal for a seasoned field leader with a strong background managing major civil/site packages, including bulk earthwork, utilities, paving, grading, and complex phased construction.

The Civil Site Superintendent will play a key role in both project pursuit and project execution. Before a project is awarded, this person may support estimating and operations by reviewing plans, helping evaluate workflow, identifying execution challenges, and providing field-based input on how the work should be planned and managed. Once awarded, the Superintendent will lead day-to-day field operations and ensure the project is delivered safely, efficiently, and to quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead field operations for large civil/site development projects, typically in the $10 million to $30 million+ range.

• Manage complex site packages involving bulk earthwork, grading, utilities, pipe work, paving, stormwater, site preparation, and related scopes.

• Support estimating and preconstruction teams by reviewing plans, evaluating constructability, identifying work sequencing, and providing input on project execution strategy.

• Oversee daily site activities, crews, foremen, assistant superintendents, subcontractors, vendors, and field support personnel.

• Coordinate closely with project managers, general superintendents, estimators, clients, engineers, inspectors, and general contractors.

• Lead and mentor field personnel, including developing younger superintendents, foremen, operators, and assistant-level team members.

• Track daily progress, materials, production, job logs, equipment usage, manpower, and field documentation.

• Proactively identify and resolve field issues, schedule conflicts, plan discrepancies, and production obstacles.

• Ensure work is performed according to plans, specifications, safety requirements, company standards, and client expectations.

• Ideal Candidate Profile

• The ideal candidate is a proven civil construction leader who has managed large, complex site packages from start to finish. This person should be comfortable stepping into high-value projects, working with estimating before award, building execution plans, and then leading the field once the project is active.

• Large commercial site development

• Big-box warehouse site packages

• Data center site preparation

• Industrial site development

• Large residential or multi-phase sitework

• Heavy civil/site construction

• Ability to read and interpret civil plans, specifications, schedules, drawings, and project documents.

• Ability to work with estimating and project management teams during pursuit, preconstruction, and execution.

• Strong communication skills with field teams, office staff, owners, engineers, inspectors, and general contractors.

• Safety-focused mindset and commitment to maintaining a clean, organized, and compliant jobsite.

• Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with large warehouse, logistics, industrial, or data center site development projects.

• Experience managing projects involving 500,000+ cubic yards of earthwork.

• Experience with large crews, including 25 to 50+ direct field employees and additional subcontractor personnel.

• Experience with GPS machine control, drone-based quantity tracking, or production measurement tools.

• Experience using Microsoft Project, Excel, Propeller, Trimble, B2W, HCSS, HeavyJob, iAuditor, or similar construction management platforms.

Additional benefits may include:

• Company vehicle

• Laptop and technology tools

• Relocation support for qualified candidates

• Long-term growth opportunity within operations, project management, estimating, or general superintendent leadership
