Civil Construction Superintendent

MacKay Contracting • Cranbrook, BC

1d • CA$40 - CA$50 • Onsite

About The Position

As a Civil Construction Superintendent with MacKay Contracting, you’ll lead the field execution of challenging heavy civil projects and help turn plans, people, equipment, and materials into finished work you can be proud of. You’ll have the authority to lead your site, the support of an experienced project team, and access to the people, equipment, and resources needed to get the job done right. This is a role for someone who enjoys seeing a project take shape in front of them and knows that good field leadership can make the difference between simply completing a job and delivering it exceptionally well.

Requirements

• Significant field experience in heavy civil construction
• Previous experience leading crews, foremen, and subcontractors
• Strong understanding of earthworks, grading, underground utilities, roadbuilding, or similar civil construction
• Ability to read and understand drawings, specifications, schedules, and project requirements
• Experience planning manpower, equipment, materials, and upcoming work
• Strong understanding of construction safety and quality requirements
• The ability to communicate effectively with both field personnel and project management

Nice To Haves

• Experience delivering larger or technically challenging civil infrastructure projects, particularly involving major earthworks, highways, utilities, structures, industrial construction, or complex site development.
• Experience with GPS machine control, digital construction tools, survey technology, production tracking, and modern project management systems is also an asset.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of field execution and keep crews, equipment, subcontractors, materials, and project priorities moving in the same direction.
• Set clear expectations, develop your foremen and crews, recognize strong performance, and create a site where people know what needs to happen and take pride in making it happen.
• Look beyond today’s production. Anticipate constraints, coordinate upcoming activities, identify problems early, and make decisions before small issues become expensive ones.
• Ensure safety is planned, communicated, organized, and led every day.
• Drive production without sacrificing quality by understanding the schedule, quantities, equipment, manpower, and production targets and continually looking for better ways to execute the work.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Foremen, Survey, Engineering, Safety, Equipment, subcontractors, and clients so the people building the project have the information and support they need.
• Keep quality, deficiencies, documentation, commissioning, and closeout moving alongside production so the last 10% of the project receives the same attention as the first 90%.

Benefits

• Access to a large, modern heavy equipment fleet
• Resources of a contractor that has spent decades taking on challenging infrastructure work
• Opportunity to lead work that is worth building (Roads, Infrastructure, Industrial sites, Environmental projects, Complex earthworks)
