Site Superintendent

Atkinson Construction • Edmonton, AB

11d • Hybrid

About The Position

We're seeking an experienced Site Superintendent to lead day-to-day field operations on commercial construction projects out of our Edmonton region. This role is best suited to candidates who are comfortable with out-of-town work and travel to project sites across Western Canada, as required. This is a senior leadership role for someone who is equally at home running a complex multi-trade site as they are mentoring a young carpenter or walking through a design challenge with an architect. At Atkinson Construction, Site Superintendents are the backbone of our delivery. You'll be accountable for safety, quality, schedule, and the culture on your site — and you'll have the full support of an experienced project management team behind you. Operating out of the Edmonton area, you'll be involved in a diverse range of commercial and institutional projects — including mixed-use developments, supportive housing, civic buildings, and other complex general contracting scopes. This position requires openness to out-of-town work, with travel to project sites across Western Canada as needed. Our projects vary in scale and sector, and you'll have the opportunity to work on projects that make a tangible difference to the communities we serve across Western Canada.
