About the Role

As Paving Superintendent, you'll serve as the primary liaison between field crews, subcontractors, and project leadership. You'll be responsible for building a culture of safety, quality, and accountability — ensuring every project is completed to spec, on schedule, and in a professional manner.

We're looking for a proactive leader who plans ahead, resolves problems quickly, and takes pride in delivering exceptional work. If you thrive in a fast-paced outdoor environment and have a track record of mentoring high-performing crews, we'd love to hear from you.


What You'll Do

  • Foster a positive, professional work environment — promoting teamwork, effective communication, and constructive conflict resolution
  • Administer client-specific programs including CQC, Safety, and Environmental Stewardship requirements
  • Lead and attend pre-construction, progress, and project meetings; maintain regular communication with client representatives
  • Maintain timely daily documentation — timecards, field reports, schedule updates, and correspondence
  • Manage, train, and mentor supporting staff; coordinate workloads and encourage ongoing professional development
  • Collaborate effectively with internal teams, including Accounting and HR, to keep projects running smoothly

Working Conditions

This is an active, outdoor role that requires frequent travel. You'll regularly work in varying weather conditions and environments that may include loud noise, airborne particles, heavy equipment, and elevated areas. PPE is required and will be provided as appropriate.
