Superintendent, Civil & Municipal Infrastructure (Sewer & Water) - Permanent - 4334
About the Opportunity
Every great civil contractor starts in a trench.
More than fifty years ago, this business started with a crew, a few machines and sewer and watermain work on local streets. When a recession quieted the city, their grit and determination kept their people working. That instinct, to say yes to the hard jobs and deliver through adversity, has never left.
Today they are among Canada’s leading civil contractors and still entrepreneurial at heart. Self-perform crews, their own equipment and haulage, and a portfolio that now runs from downtown watermains and flood protection to transit, power, utilities and design-build, across Canada and into the US.
Sewer and water is still where it all began, and still where the business proves itself every day. They are welcoming a Superintendent to lead that work, and to grow with a company that is moving fast.
If you love the craft of underground work and want a career with somewhere to go, read on.
Why the timing is right:
- Growth that is already happening, with regional offices and yards opening across the country and a leadership team scaling the business through new work, partnerships and acquisitions
- A place on some of Ontario’s largest transit programs, teamed with international partners on progressive design-build pursuits
- Real diversity of work: sewer and water, transit, power generation, energy and telecom utilities, shoring, stormwater and treatment works
- Self-perform crews backed by in-house equipment and haulage, so the plan you set is built by your own people
- A five-decade reputation with municipal owners who keep coming back, and founder-led leadership that is still close to the work
About You
You have earned your stripes underground. Crews follow your plan because it works, inspectors take your word because it holds, and your Project Manager knows the job is in good hands the moment you are on it.
Now you want more of the work you love, and a company big enough to show you what comes next: bigger programs, exposure to new challenges and leaders who notice the people who deliver.
Above all, you take pride in work that disappears under the asphalt and keeps a community running for the next fifty years.
The successful candidate will have the following:
- A career leading sewer and watermain work in the field, ideally for municipal owners in dense urban settings
- Hands-on command of open-cut installation, service connections, bypass pumping, dewatering and shoring, with trenchless or pumping station exposure a real plus
- Working knowledge of OPSS and municipal standards, and the OHSA requirements that govern every open-cut job
- The confidence to run crews, subcontractors, utilities and traffic staging at the same time
- Calm, clear communication with inspectors, consultants and the public, and records that keep a municipal job moving
About the Job
What’s On Offer?
You own the field from mobilization to restoration: setting the sequence, running crews and equipment, managing utilities and traffic, and holding safety and quality to a standard owners notice. The business that started in the trench gives its Superintendents the respect, the resources and the runway to build a career as big as they want it to be.
- Location: GTA
- Salary Range: $130,000 to $170,000
- Leadership on municipal sewer and water projects that keep the GTA growing
- A path beyond the trench, with the chance to step into transit, utilities, energy and design-build work as your career grows
- Your own crews, equipment and haulage behind you, and the authority to make the call
- Room to progress into larger projects and/or greater opportunities as the business scales
- The stability of a well-capitalized contractor with a long runway of secured work
- A team where field leaders are known by name and their judgment is respected
