Role Overview

A growing civil and environmental construction contractor is seeking an experienced Superintendent to lead field operations on complex infrastructure and environmental projects throughout New England.

This role is ideal for a field leader who understands civil construction, can manage crews and subcontractors, and knows how to keep work moving safely, efficiently, and in line with project requirements. The work is varied and technical, with projects involving environmental scopes, excavation, demolition, utility work, sitework, dredging, landfill-related construction, and other civil infrastructure.

The right candidate will be organized, proactive, safety-focused, and confident managing day-to-day field activity while working closely with Project Managers, safety teams, subcontractors, vendors, and clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, supervise, and coordinate daily field operations on assigned projects
• Manage self-performed work, subcontractors, vendors, equipment, and site logistics
• Determine construction sequencing and help drive efficient field execution
• Review plans, specifications, scopes of work, and project requirements
• Maintain daily field documentation, reports, production tracking, and project records
• Monitor safety compliance, conduct toolbox talks, and support site safety programs
• Track labor, equipment, quantities, and field conditions impacting cost or schedule
• Coordinate with Project Managers on manpower, materials, scheduling, and project issues
• Support cost tracking, quantity reporting, pay requisitions, and field-related documentation
• Identify field challenges early and help develop practical solutions
• Train, mentor, and support field personnel as needed
• Assist with project closeout, punch list completion, and turnover

What They're Looking For

• 5+ years of Superintendent experience in civil, environmental, excavation, demolition, utility, sitework, or related infrastructure construction
• Strong understanding of field operations, construction sequencing, scheduling, and cost control
• Ability to supervise multiple crews, subcontractors, and active work areas
• Experience reading and interpreting plans, specifications, and technical documents
• Strong safety mindset with the ability to enforce safe and productive work practices
• Organized, decisive, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced field environment
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work well with project teams, subcontractors, clients, and inspectors
• Basic survey experience is a plus
• Degree or background in Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Technology, or related field is preferred but not required

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Strong compensation for an experienced field leader
• Opportunity to work on complex civil and environmental construction projects
• Growing contractor with a steady pipeline of regional work
• Hands-on leadership role with real impact on safety, production, schedule, and project success
• Strong fit for someone who enjoys technical field execution and problem-solving
• Long-term opportunity for a Superintendent who wants to be trusted with meaningful responsibility
