Bonus structures vary widely by contractor and role. For engineers and superintendents, common bonus types include project completion bonuses, safety bonuses, and year-end discretionary awards. What drives the size of a bonus typically comes down to project size and complexity, sector (heavy civil and data center work often carry stronger bonus potential), years of experience, and how closely the project finishes on time and on budget. When evaluating any offer, ask how bonuses are structured, what triggers them, and what people at your level actually receive, not just the stated maximum.
