About The Position

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Site Superintendent to lead field operations on commercial construction projects in the Grande Prairie region. This is a senior site leadership role — you'll be the boots-on-the-ground leader responsible for safety, quality, schedule, and team performance from mobilization through to deficiency closeout. At ACL, Superintendents aren't just project managers in hard hats — they're the culture carriers on site. You'll mentor the next generation of tradespeople, coordinate complex multi-trade scopes, and deliver projects that matter to the communities we serve. Our Grande Prairie projects span a range of complex commercial scopes — including large-scale recreational facilities, municipal and civic buildings, multi-family residential developments, and supportive housing. You can expect to run projects with real scale and complexity: coordinating multiple trade packages, managing design-build elements, working through challenging site conditions, and delivering to high-profile clients and communities who are counting on the finished product.
