Job description

Flotech is an environmental contractor providing cleaning, maintenance, and repair services for critical infrastructure, including wastewater conveyance systems and underground utility services. Our clients include municipalities, contractors, property managers, homeowner associations across Florida, with offices in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa Bay.

The Superintendent is central to that mission, serving as the primary field leader responsible for day-to-day operations on assigned projects — keeping crews safe and productive, equipment running, and projects on schedule and on budget.

This role oversees field crews and equipment, enforces safety and quality standards, manages job site administration (including timecard accuracy), and serves as the key point of coordination between the field and the Project Manager. The Superintendent is accountable for keeping projects safe, productive, well-organized, and on schedule from mobilization through completion.

Expense Management & Job Costing

• Manage and reconcile job site expenses, including company credit card purchases, ensuring all charges are approved, coded correctly, and supported by proper documentation/receipts. Track job costs against the approved project budget, flagging variances and working with the Project Manager to keep spending on labor, materials, and equipment within budget.
