Position Summary

We are seeking a General Superintendent with deep expertise in structural bridge concrete to lead field operations on complex heavy civil projects. This role is responsible for driving safe, high‑quality, and on‑schedule execution across all bridge concrete activities; from foundations and substructure to superstructure placements.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage all field operations for structural bridge concrete work (footings, columns, caps, decks, and closure pours)
• Develop and execute work plans that ensure efficient production, safety, and quality compliance
• Coordinate closely with project management, engineering, and subcontractors to maintain schedule and budget targets
• Oversee concrete placement operations, formwork systems, rebar installation, and curing processes
