Job description

Your New Company

We are partnered with a premier general contractor specializing in public-sector construction throughout the New York metropolitan area. This firm delivers projects for major agencies such as NYCT, MTA, LIRR, SCA, NYCHA, and DASNY, with a strong presence across all five boroughs and Long Island.

The company manages a broad range of workโ€”from interior rehabilitations to large-scale transit and infrastructure upgradesโ€”and has successfully delivered both traditional hard-bid projects and complex design-build work for major transit agencies. They have been recognized as Top Places to work for the past 2 years.


Your New Role

The company is seeking an experienced Superintendent to oversee field operations on major MTA/NYCT transit infrastructure projects. This highly visible role requires a hands-on leader who can coordinate multi-disciplinary crews, manage complex site logistics in active transit environments, and maintain strong communication with agency representatives.

You will be responsible for supervising construction activities within stations, tunnels, platforms, rail corridors, and associated civil/structural work.


What Youโ€™ll Need to Succeed

  • 7+ years of superintendent experience in heavy civil, transit, or infrastructure work.
  • Prior experience working on MTA/NYCT, LIRR, or major public agency capital projects.
  • Strong understanding of transit construction safety and NYCT access procedures.
  • Ability to manage multiple crews in complex, constrained jobsite conditions.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and problemโ€‘solving abilities.
  • Experience with structural concrete, utilities, site/civil work, or station rehabilitation is a strong plus.
  • Maintain strong working relationships with project managers, engineers, safety staff, and inspectors.


What Youโ€™ll Get in Return

  • Competitive salary ($160kโ€“$190k depending on experience)
  • Performance-based bonuses
  • Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Car allowance and transportation reimbursement
  • Long-term career growth within a strong, stable civil contractor
