Superintendent pay shifts based on project size and complexity, sector (heavy civil, data center, rail, tunnels, wastewater, site development), years of experience, certifications, union status, and whether the role requires travel or per diem. A superintendent running a large heavy civil or data center project will typically earn more than one on a smaller site development job. Safety credentials and schedule management experience also push compensation higher. Our construction salary data is drawn straight from where the hiring happens, our recruiting desks, across a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, and cross-checked against authoritative sources including BLS, AGC, and ENR. That means the ranges reflect the market as we actually see it, not scraped job-board averages.
