Job Description Florida heavy civil contractor is looking for a Project Superintendent to take a strong field leadership seat on FDOT bridge and heavy highway work in the Saint Petersburg / Tampa Bay market. This is a good fit for someone who has already been around real bridge work — not just general sitework or roadway support — and knows how to coordinate foremen, subcontractors, inspectors, engineers, owners, and field crews without losing control of production. The company needs a superintendent who can run work in the field, protect schedule, manage production, communicate clearly, and keep crews moving safely and efficiently on FDOT infrastructure work. Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation This opportunity offers:

• A direct-hire role with an established Florida heavy civil contractor
• FDOT bridge / heavy highway work in the Tampa Bay market

• Competitive base compensation with project bonus opportunity
• Full benefits
• Relocation consideration for the right candidate
• A confidential process from first conversation through final steps

This is not a generic superintendent seat. The company is looking for someone who understands bridge construction, FDOT expectations, jobsite coordination, and the day-to-day pressure of keeping heavy civil work moving. What You’ll Be Leading The Project Superintendent will manage and coordinate field operations on FDOT heavy/highway/bridge projects, with responsibility for production, schedule, subcontractors, safety, client coordination, and field execution.
