Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Residential Land Development Project Manager / Site Superintendent to oversee the field development of residential subdivisions from initial clearing through completion and turnover.

This is a hands-on field position responsible for coordinating and monitoring site contractors, utilities, inspections, schedules, quality, and overall construction progress. The ideal candidate will have experience working for a site development, grading, underground utility, or road construction contractor and understand how residential subdivisions are actually built in the field.

We will also consider candidates with strong experience as a civil construction inspector, engineering inspector, public works inspector, or similar position who have extensive knowledge of grading, utilities, stormwater systems, and roadway construction.

Key Responsibilities

The Project Manager / Site Superintendent will oversee the day-to-day development of residential subdivision projects, including:

  • Clearing, grubbing, demolition, and erosion-control installation
  • Mass grading and earthwork
  • Storm drainage and stormwater management systems
  • Sanitary sewer installation
  • Water main and service installation
  • Other underground utilities
  • Roadway construction, including subgrade preparation, stone base, curb and gutter, and asphalt paving
  • Sidewalks and other concrete improvements
  • Final grading, stabilization, landscaping, and project closeout
  • Coordination of utility companies and other third-party contractors
  • Coordination of municipal, county, utility, and engineering inspections
  • Punch-list completion and final acceptance of infrastructure
Field Management

The successful candidate will serve as the owner’s primary representative in the field and will be expected to:

  • Visit active projects regularly and closely monitor construction activities.
  • Coordinate contractors and subcontractors to keep projects moving efficiently.
  • Monitor construction schedules and identify potential delays before they impact project completion.
  • Review contractor manpower and equipment levels to determine whether adequate resources are being committed to the project.
  • Verify that work is being completed generally in accordance with approved construction plans and specifications.
  • Monitor the quality of grading, utility, drainage, roadway, and concrete work.
  • Coordinate required testing and inspections.
  • Identify field conflicts and work with contractors, engineers, utility providers, and governmental agencies to resolve issues quickly.
  • Review and document construction progress.
  • Review contractor pay applications and quantities and confirm that requested payments generally correspond with work completed.
  • Maintain project punch lists and drive contractors toward timely completion.
  • Assist with final inspections, as-builts, certifications, and turnover/acceptance of completed infrastructure.
  • Provide regular progress reports to company ownership and management, including schedule status, current activities, upcoming work, problems, and recommended solutions.
Preferred Experience

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following:

  • Site development contractor
  • Grading and earthwork contractor
  • Underground utility contractor
  • Roadway or heavy civil contractor
  • Residential subdivision development
  • Civil engineering/construction inspection
  • Municipal or county construction inspection
  • Public works infrastructure construction
