Role Overview
A well-established construction firm with deep experience in public infrastructure is seeking an experienced Water / Wastewater Treatment Superintendent to lead field operations on complex treatment plant, pump station, and utility-related projects.
This is a strong opportunity for a Superintendent who understands the demands of building and renovating critical water and wastewater facilities, including work within active operating environments. The right candidate will bring a strong field presence, practical construction knowledge, and the ability to lead crews, subcontractors, and day-to-day site execution with confidence.
The company has a long-standing reputation for delivering challenging public and private sector projects and values field leaders who take ownership, communicate clearly, and know how to keep work moving safely and efficiently.
Key Responsibilities

- Supervise and coordinate subcontractors, self-performed work, vendors, and field crews
- Plan and schedule work activities to maintain project progress and hit key milestones
- Lead daily huddles, toolbox talks, and safety coordination with crews and subcontractors
- Coordinate closely with Project Managers on materials, manpower, subcontractor scheduling, and field issues
- Review plans, specifications, shop drawings, and contract documents to ensure work is performed correctly
- Maintain strong quality control and ensure work meets contract, scope, and project requirements
- Track daily and weekly progress, productivity, manpower, and site conditions
- Prepare accurate daily reports and communicate project updates clearly
- Interface with owners, engineers, inspectors, subcontractors, and local officials
- Participate in preconstruction planning, project closeout, punch list, and turnover activities
- Help mentor Assistant Superintendents, Field Engineers, and emerging field leaders
What They're Looking For
- Proven Superintendent experience in water/wastewater treatment plant construction, pump stations, utilities, or heavy civil infrastructure
- Strong understanding of field operations, construction sequencing, site logistics, and subcontractor coordination
- Experience working in active treatment facilities or technically complex infrastructure environments is highly valued
- Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and technical documents
- Strong safety mindset with the ability to lead crews and enforce safe, productive work practices
- Experience coordinating mechanical, electrical, concrete, utility, sitework, and process-related scopes
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with project teams, engineers, inspectors, and clients
- OSHA certification preferred
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Opportunity to work on meaningful infrastructure projects that support clean water, wastewater treatment, and local communities
- Stable contractor with a strong history of delivering complex public infrastructure work
- Field-focused culture where experienced Superintendents are trusted to lead and make an impact
- Diverse project scope including treatment facilities, pump stations, utility work, site improvements, and building-related construction
- Strong team environment that values safety, quality, planning, and practical problem-solving
- Long-term opportunity for a Superintendent who wants to be a key part of a respected construction team
