We are seeking an experienced Construction Superintendent to oversee the safe, efficient and high-quality delivery of construction projects from mobilisation through to completion. This is a site-based leadership role, responsible for coordinating daily activities, managing construction teams and ensuring work is delivered in accordance with approved plans, specifications, budgets and programmes.


You will work closely with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers and client representatives to maintain progress and resolve issues promptly. The successful candidate will be confident leading diverse teams, communicating clearly and making practical decisions in a fast-paced site environment.

Key responsibilities

• Plan, coordinate and supervise daily construction activities across the site.
• Lead site operatives, subcontractors and specialist trades, allocating resources effectively.
• Monitor progress against project schedules and implement corrective action where required.
• Ensure all work complies with drawings, specifications, building regulations and quality standards.
• Promote a strong health, safety and environmental culture, including site inspections and toolbox talks.
• Coordinate deliveries, plant, materials and access requirements to minimise disruption.
• Review method statements, risk assessments and permits before work begins.
• Identify and resolve construction issues, delays, defects and coordination conflicts.
• Maintain accurate site records, progress reports, diaries and inspection documentation.
• Support commissioning, snagging, handover and close-out activities.

About you


You will have substantial experience supervising construction projects, ideally within a commercial, residential, civil engineering or industrial environment. A recognised construction qualification, such as an HNC, NVQ or equivalent, is desirable, together with a valid site safety or supervisory card.


Strong knowledge of construction methods, health and safety legislation, quality control and programme management is essential. You should be organised, proactive and commercially aware, with the confidence to challenge unsafe or non-compliant practices. Excellent communication skills and the ability to build effective working relationships at all levels are also required.


In return, this role offers the opportunity to lead significant projects, develop your career and contribute to the successful delivery of high-quality construction work.
