Earthwork Superintendent

Sarasota, FL | Competitive salary with project bonus

A well-established heavy civil contractor is hiring an Earthwork Superintendent to lead field operations on highway and civil infrastructure projects in the Sarasota and Southwest Florida market. This is a direct-hire, field-based leadership position responsible for crew supervision, production, scheduling, and daily field execution on active heavy highway work.

Schedule Full-time, field-based on active heavy highway and civil construction sites in the Sarasota, FL area. Day shift hours typical of heavy civil work; specific start times vary by project and season.

What You'll Do You will oversee and coordinate field crews on heavy highway and civil construction projects, taking ownership of safety, production, scheduling, manpower coordination, and daily execution.
