Superintendent – Heavy Civil/Underground Utilities

Massachusetts | Field-Based

$135,000–$160,000+ DOE


We are partnering with a well-established, family-owned heavy civil contractor seeking an experienced Superintendent to join their Massachusetts team. This is a field-based leadership role overseeing self-performed municipal infrastructure projects throughout the state.


The ideal candidate comes directly from heavy civil, underground utility, water/sewer, or municipal roadway construction and is comfortable managing multiple crews in a fast-paced, street-to-street environment.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Oversee approximately 2–2.5 self-performing field crews and work closely with foremen
  • Manage municipal water, sewer, underground utility, and roadway projects
  • Plan and forecast upcoming work, manpower, materials, and scheduling needs
  • Stay several steps ahead of crews by identifying utility conflicts and potential field issues before they impact production
  • Coordinate with engineers, inspectors, utility companies, subcontractors, and project teams
  • Handle field layout, permits, material ordering, and subcontractor coordination
  • Track completed quantities and ensure work is properly documented for billing/payment
  • Maintain redline drawings and project documentation
  • Participate in weekly project meetings and required reporting
  • Keep crews productive, projects moving, and field issues resolved


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of directly relevant heavy civil/municipal underground construction experience
  • Strong background in water, sewer, underground utilities, and/or roadway construction
  • Experience working for a self-performing contractor
  • Proven experience managing field crews and foremen
  • Strong look-ahead planning, scheduling, and forecasting skills
  • Experience with municipal/public hard-bid projects strongly preferred
  • Ability to work independently without heavy day-to-day oversight
  • Experience with Procore, Trimble, B2W Track, Microsoft Office, or Excel is helpful but not required; software can be taught.


Project & Travel Details

Projects are located throughout Massachusetts, including the Boston area, North Shore, South Shore, and Cape Cod. Typical projects range from approximately $10M–$30M and average around two years in duration.


This position is primarily field-based, with Superintendents generally reporting directly to their assigned project/jobsite. No overnight travel is required.


Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary approximately $135K–$150K, with flexibility up to approximately $160K for highly experienced candidates
  • Bonus opportunity
  • Company truck and fuel card
  • Medical, dental, and optional vision coverage
  • 401(k) with company match


This is a great opportunity for an experienced underground Superintendent who enjoys being close to the work, leading crews, and having the autonomy to run projects without being micromanaged.
