Job Description

Now Hiring: General Superintendent – Bridge Construction (Philadelphia, PA)

A well-established and highly respected heavy civil contractor is seeking an experienced General Superintendent to lead and grow its Bridge Construction Department in the Philadelphia region.

This is a senior leadership role for a proven field professional who thrives on building teams, delivering complex bridge projects, and driving operational excellence.

The Opportunity

This role offers full responsibility for overseeing bridge operations across multiple projects—from preconstruction through closeout. You will play a key role in shaping strategy, mentoring superintendents, ensuring safety and quality, and partnering with executive leadership to expand the department’s footprint in the region.

If you’re looking for a position where your experience truly matters and your decisions directly impact the success of major infrastructure projects, this is it.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead all field operations for bridge projects throughout the Philadelphia area
  • Manage and mentor superintendents, foremen, and field staff
  • Drive safety, quality, schedule, and cost performance across projects
  • Collaborate with project management, estimating, and executive teams
  • Support preconstruction planning, means & methods, and staffing strategies
  • Ensure compliance with DOT, OSHA, and company standards
  • Serve as a leader and culture-builder within the organization

What We’re Looking For:

  • 15+ years of experience in bridge construction
  • Prior experience as a General Superintendent or Senior Superintendent preferred
  • Strong background in concrete, steel, and complex bridge structures
  • Proven ability to lead large teams and multiple projects
  • Deep understanding of safety leadership and field execution
  • Strong communication, planning, and problem-solving skills

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Leadership-level position with real influence and autonomy
  • Long-term, stable work with a strong regional backlog
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package
  • Opportunity to lead a department, not just a project
  • Join a contractor known for quality, integrity, and repeat work

📍 Location: Philadelphia, PA (regional projects – no extensive travel)

All inquiries and applications will be handled confidentially .
