Job description

We are seeking a Project Superintendent I to support the successful delivery of construction projects from mobilisation through completion. Working closely with project managers, contractors, consultants, and site personnel, you will help coordinate daily field activities, maintain a safe and productive work environment, and ensure work is completed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, schedules, and quality standards. This role is well suited to a construction professional who is organised, practical, and confident working across multiple project stakeholders.

Responsibilities include assisting with project planning and site mobilisation; coordinating subcontractors, suppliers, inspections, and deliveries; monitoring progress against the project schedule; and identifying issues that may affect cost, quality, safety, or completion dates. You will conduct regular site walks, review work in progress, confirm materials and workmanship meet requirements, and support the resolution of technical or operational challenges. The role also involves maintaining accurate daily reports, tracking manpower and productivity, documenting changes and delays, participating in progress meetings, and communicating updates to project leadership. You will promote adherence to site safety procedures, environmental requirements, and applicable legislation, taking prompt action when unsafe conditions or non-conforming work are identified.

Applicants should have relevant experience in construction supervision, field coordination, or a related discipline, together with a sound understanding of construction methods, sequencing, drawings, specifications, and health and safety practices. Experience supporting commercial, industrial, civil, or building projects is advantageous. Strong communication, organisation, problem-solving, and time-management skills are essential, as is the ability to read and interpret project documentation and use standard digital reporting tools. A relevant trade qualification, technical diploma, or equivalent practical experience is preferred. You should be willing to work on active project sites, adapt to changing priorities, and collaborate effectively with a diverse range of professionals and trades.
