Job Description

MEC General Contractors is looking for a Sitework Superintendent. This role is entirely site-phase focused — you will not be asked to manage building trades. Your domain is everything from initial site mobilization through rough grading, underground utilities, paving, and site concrete, handing off a complete, inspection-ready site package to the building team. You will work directly with civil subs, self-perform crews where applicable, and the Project Manager to keep the site phase on schedule and on budget.

Responsibilities:

• Site mobilization — temporary facilities, erosion control, access roads, fencing, and safety setup before any work begins
• Mass grading and fine grading operations, including cut/fill sequencing, compaction testing coordination, and subgrade prep
• Underground utility installation: sanitary sewer, storm drainage, water mains, fire lines, and dry utilities — coordinating with inspectors and utility owners throughout
• Stormwater management and SWPPP compliance — maintaining BMPs, conducting site inspections, and keeping the site in compliance throughout construction
• Coordinating survey, layout, and grade checks with the site survey crew to ensure work is built to plan
• Site concrete: curb and gutter, sidewalks, pads, and flatwork — managing placement, finishing, and curing to spec
• Subbase preparation, paving operations, and asphalt coordination through final lift
• Managing civil subcontractors and equipment operators day-to-day — directing work, tracking production, and holding trade foremen accountable
• Daily logs with manpower counts, equipment on site, work performed, weather, and inspection results
• Coordinating city/county inspections for underground utility phases and obtaining all required sign-offs before backfill
• Tracking material deliveries — pipe, stone, concrete, geotextile — and managing laydown areas to keep the site moving efficiently
• Handing off a clean, complete site to the building superintendent: final grades confirmed, utilities accepted, paving complete, as-builts initiated

Qualifications & Skills:

• 10 years running sitework on commercial construction projects — not residential grading, not highway work, but commercial site packages from mobilization through paving
• Direct experience managing earthwork contractors, utility subs, and equipment operators simultaneously on active sites
• Track record of getting underground utility phases inspected and accepted on schedule — you know what inspectors look for and you don't bury pipe that isn't ready
• Experience reading civil construction drawings, grading plans, utility profiles, and paving sections — and catching conflicts in the office before they show up in the field
• Proficient in Procore for daily logs, photo documentation, and inspection tracking
• Preferred: experience on commercial retail, restaurant, or multi-building campus site packages in Florida or the Southeast. Familiarity with FDEP permit conditions and SJRWMD/SWFWMD compliance is a plus.

Technical knowledge:

• Solid understanding of earthwork means and methods: cut/fill balance, compaction requirements, lift thicknesses, and moisture conditioning
• Working knowledge of gravity flow drainage systems — pipe sizing, invert elevations, manhole installation, and outfall requirements
• Familiarity with pressure systems: water main installation, thrust blocking, pressure testing, and bacteriological clearance procedures
• Understanding of FDOT and local agency paving specifications, base course requirements, and asphalt compaction standards
• SWPPP compliance experience — maintaining inspection logs, correcting deficiencies, and managing erosion control through site phases
• Ability to use a grade rod and work alongside survey crews; comfortable verifying grades in the field against plan elevations

Safety & compliance:

• OSHA 30 required; Trenching and Excavation Competent Person certification strongly preferred
• Experience managing confined space entry protocols for manhole and vault work
• Familiar with one-call (811) procedures, utility locate requirements, and safe excavation practices near existing utilities

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Vision Insurance
• Life insurance
• Paid Time Off
• Holiday Pay
• Floating Holiday
• Company Phone or Personal Phone Reimbursement
• iPad
• Branded Apparel Reimbursement

Schedule:

• 8 hour shift
• Monday to Friday

License/Certification:

• Driver's License (required)

Work Location: In person
