# What Should a Construction Superintendent Expect to Earn When Making a Job Change?

Superintendent compensation varies by sector, project size, and geography. Based on our recruiting desks, drawn straight from where the hiring happens across a network of 90,000+ construction professionals and cross-checked against authoritative sources including BLS, AGC, and ENR, heavy civil and site development superintendents in active markets typically see offers ranging from the low $90s to over $110,000 in base salary, with total packages influenced by truck allowance, per diem, and bonus structure.
