  • Contribute to the development and execution of construction work plans and schedules.
  • Collaborate with Project Managers and project leadership to identify labour, equipment, and material requirements and adjust resources as necessary to meet production forecasts, schedules, and budgets.
  • Foster a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative work environment while ensuring adherence to company policies and collective agreements where applicable.
  • Build and maintain a high-performing team through leadership, coaching, training, mentoring, and team development.
  • Oversee daily production reporting and ensure accurate documentation of work progress.
  • Ensure company-owned and rented tools, equipment, and assets are properly maintained, documented, and accounted for.
  • Maintain accountability for quality control, field administration, and operational performance across assigned project teams.


What You Bring to the Team:
  • 5-10 years of experience in a Superintendent position within the construction, heavy civil, infrastructure, industrial, or related construction sector.
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary field teams, including Foremen, Project Coordinators, Field Engineers, subcontractors, and craft employees.
