Superintendent

Our client, a self-performing contractor, is hiring an experienced Earthwork Superintendent to lead field operations on a major infrastructure project in the St. Petersburg area. This is a long-term role on a 4.5-year project with real stability, real scope, and real leadership opportunity. If you’ve built your career moving dirt and managing crews, this one is worth a close look.

What You Will Run

You will oversee daily field operations across 3 to 4 crews and 2 subcontractors on a single site. Your core focus is earthwork and grading: managing excavation, material movement (approximately 2,000 cubic yards), and coordinating MSE wall installation and preparation. You will own scheduling, field logistics, labor and equipment coordination, and production tracking. You will also sequence work across defined zones and phases, conduct safety talks, track timesheets and crew performance, and work with surveyors, pipe crews, and project engineering to keep the schedule on track and recover weather delays.

What It Takes

You need a strong background in earthwork, excavation, and grading operations, with proven experience managing production-driven dirt movement scopes. You must be comfortable managing multiple crews and subcontractors simultaneously. Experience with MSE wall operations and coordination is preferred. Familiarity with Bluebeam, HeavyJob, and Procore is a plus, but if you don’t have it, you need to be willing and able to learn quickly.

This role averages 50 hours per week and requires night and weekend work as needed to maintain schedule and recover rain days. You are organized, adaptable, and comfortable in a fast-paced field environment.

Compensation and Schedule

$120,000 to $140,000 per year, depending on experience. The project runs approximately 4.5 years with anticipated completion in early 2030.
