Project Superintendent — FDOT Heavy/Highway/Bridge

📍 Saint Petersburg, Florida 💰 $140,000 - $175,000 🏢 Full Time
**About This Opportunity**
If you’ve spent years building real bridge and heavy highway work—not just supporting it from the sidelines—this is your chance to take the lead. We’re looking for a Project Superintendent to step into a high-impact field leadership role on FDOT bridge and heavy highway projects in the Saint Petersburg / Tampa Bay market. This isn’t a generic seat. It’s for someone who knows how to coordinate foremen, subcontractors, inspectors, engineers, and owners without losing control of production. You’ll run work in the field, protect the schedule, and keep crews moving safely and efficiently. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.

**What You’ll Be Leading**
You’ll manage and coordinate all field operations on FDOT heavy/highway/bridge projects. That means you own production, schedule, subcontractors, safety, client coordination, and field execution. Day to day, you will:

- Manage and schedule foremen, field crews, and subcontractors
- Lead daily field execution across bridge and heavy highway construction activities
- Establish production goals and hold your project teams accountable to them
- Coordinate with project management, engineers, inspectors, suppliers, and owners
- Maintain positive working relationships with clients, consultants, inspectors, and public stakeholders
- Review project performance and recommend corrective action when schedule, cost, or production issues arise
- Manage construction activities in accordance with contract documents, drawings, specifications, safety requirements, and environmental regulations
- Assist estimators and engineers with quantities, production tracking, and field input
- Coach, supervise, and train foremen and field employees
- Support on-the-job training and safety compliance across all crews

**What You Bring**
You’ve already been around real bridge work—not just general sitework or roadway support. You understand FDOT expectations, jobsite coordination, and the daily pressure of keeping heavy civil work moving. You communicate clearly, protect the schedule, and keep crews safe without micromanaging. You’re comfortable in a field leadership role where you have real responsibility over crews, subs, and execution.

**Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation**
- Direct-hire role with an established Florida heavy civil contractor
- FDOT bridge / heavy highway work in the Tampa Bay market
- Field leadership role with real ownership over production and schedule
- Competitive base compensation: **$140,000 – $175,000 per year**
- Project bonus opportunity
- Full benefits package
- Relocation consideration for the right candidate
- Confidential process from first conversation through final steps
