This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role for someone who's come up through the trades and thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading field operations for complex structural projects, including abutments, falsework, girder erection, and concrete works
- Managing and mentoring a team of 2–3 foremen and carpenters
- Conducting construct-ability reviews and working with PMs on estimates, take-offs, and change orders
- Ensuring full compliance with MOTI BC specs, project contracts, and safety procedures
- Collaborating with Project Coordinators and Managers on schedules, costing, and overall project value
- Supporting project delivery for a variety of structures, including highway bridges, transit, and port infrastructure
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
- 15–20 years of bridge construction experience with at least 10 years as a Superintendent
- Red Seal Carpenter or equivalent trade background
- Experience leading crews on major civil infrastructure projects
- Strong knowledge of formwork systems (PERI, falsework, structural steel, cast-in-place)
- Collaborative leadership style focused on mentorship and team performance
- Excellent communication skills and ability to contribute to project documentation and reporting
- Bonus: experience with budget software and P3/public infrastructure work
WHY JOIN THIS TEAM?
- Competitive Compensation: Competitive base salary, strong performance bonus, company vehicle and industry-leading benefits including RSP plan.
