About The Position

Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (GIP) is a leading, self-performing infrastructure contractor delivering complex road, highway, and municipal projects across Ontario. Our teams are consistently winning competitive bids and tenders, securing a strong and sustainable backlog that supports long-term careers—not short-term projects. We are looking for a senior Roads & Highways Superintendent—a proven field leader who takes pride in building work the right way, the first time, and who thrives in a high-performance, operations-driven environment. This is a non-unionized leadership role that works closely and effectively with unionized trades, inspectors, and agencies across provincial and municipal projects. As Roads & Highways Superintendent, you are accountable for field execution—from pre-planning through completion—across multiple crews, sites, and scopes. You will lead high-volume, self-performed work while partnering closely with Project Managers and Project Coordinators to deliver safe, high-quality, and profitable outcomes. This role is well-suited to superintendents who have built their careers at integrated, self-performing contractors and are looking to be part of a growing organization with momentum.
