Site Superintendent

About Atkinson Construction

Atkinson Construction is a growing, employee-owned general contracting firm based in St. Albert, Alberta. We deliver high-quality construction across Western Canada — commercial developments, multi-family residential, recreational facilities, public infrastructure, and supportive housing. We build with purpose, lead with integrity, and invest deeply in the people who make our projects possible.

About the Role

We're seeking an experienced Site Superintendent to lead day-to-day field operations on commercial construction projects out of our Edmonton and Northern Alberta region. This role is best suited to candidates who are comfortable with out-of-town work and travel to project sites across Alberta, as required. This is a senior leadership role for someone who is equally at home running a complex multi-trade site as they are mentoring a young carpenter.

At Atkinson Construction, Site Superintendents are the backbone of our delivery. You'll be accountable for safety, quality, schedule, and the culture on your site — and you'll have the full support of an experienced project management team behind you.
