- Coordinate material purchasing, deliveries, site logistics, and workforce needs
- Maintain a safe, organized, and productive jobsite
- Communicate with Project Managers, engineers, inspectors, municipalities, and owners
- Track progress, manpower, production, and changing field conditions
- Support equipment installation, testing, start-up, commissioning, and closeout
- Mentor Foremen, Assistant Superintendents, and field personnel

- Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and shop drawings
- Strong knowledge of construction sequencing, safety, scheduling, and quality control
- Ability to lead crews and coordinate multiple subcontractors on active projects
- Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
- OSHA 10 certification required; OSHA 30 and Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License are preferred
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel to regional project sites
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Competitive salary of $130,000 to $160,000
- ESOP program
- Meaningful projects that support clean water and critical community infrastructure
- Opportunity to lead technically challenging municipal construction work
- Stable project pipeline throughout the South Shore and Cape Cod
- Strong benefits, retirement support, and professional development
