Position Summary:
The Assistant Superintendent plays a key role in supporting the Superintendent or Senior Superintendent by helping ensure projects progress efficiently and are completed on schedule and within budget. This position provides on-site assistance in managing jobsite safety, quality control, and project scheduling. Depending on the project’s staffing structure, the Assistant Superintendent reports directly to either the Superintendent or Senior Superintendent.
This position provides advanced exposure to heavy civil construction execution, with a primary focus on water and wastewater treatment plants, conveyance systems, pumping stations, and transportation infrastructure (highways, bridges, interchanges, grading, utilities, and related Department of Transportation projects). The primary goal is to develop strong field leadership skills, deepen technical expertise, and demonstrate readiness for supervisory advancement through initiative, mentorship, safety advocacy, and consistent project delivery.
Success in this role requires proven technical proficiency, strong communication, reliability, a proactive mindset, and a commitment to team development and project excellence. Duration in this position varies based on individual performance and project opportunities, often serving as a bridge to Superintendent or Senior Superintendent roles.
Essential Functions:
- Lead and promote jobsite safety planning, monitoring, and compliance with OSHA standards, company policies, and site-specific plans (including confined space, trench safety, hazardous materials, fall protection, and traffic control common in treatment plants and transportation projects); conduct toolbox talks and safety audits.
- Maintain deep knowledge of project plans, specifications, and contract documents; provide advanced interpretation and guidance to field crews, subcontractors, and junior team members on specialized elements such as process piping, structural concrete, excavation/dewatering, hydraulic systems, treatment equipment, earthwork, grading, utilities, and traffic control.
- Lead Quality Control processes, including pre-pour checklists, inspections, deficiency identification/correction, documentation for as-builts, and ensuring work meets or exceeds specifications.
