We are seeing strong demand for Superintendents across heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnel, and wastewater projects nationwide in 2026. Several factors move pay the most: project size and complexity, sector, years of experience, safety certifications, schedule management credentials, and whether the role requires travel or extended site presence. Superintendents on large, complex projects consistently earn above published averages. 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.
