Superintendent – Earthworks | 2:1 Roster The Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Earthworks Superintendent to lead delivery on a fast-paced civil package. This is a site-based role overseeing multiple crews across road widening and remediation works within a challenging salt environment. The project is programme-driven with a fixed end date and liquidated damages attached, so maintaining production and keeping work fronts moving is critical.
Scope of Works
* ~10km of road widening, remediation and tie-ins
* Seawall access road rebuild
* ~180,000m3 bulk earthworks with detailed trim requirements
* Breaking out heavily compacted salt/calcrete (\"calite\")
* On-site material winning, conditioning and testing
* Limited drainage including minor concrete works and rock placement
The Role
* Manage 6 Supervisors across multiple work fronts
* Oversee ~50 operators and associated crews
* Drive production, programme and daily output
* Coordinate closely with Project Manager and Project Engineer
* Ensure works meet required quality and testing standards (AS3798 / AS1289)
* Maintain safe, efficient delivery in a difficult ground environment
This is a hands‐on delivery role with a focus on execution, keeping crews moving and hitting programme rather than being process‐heavy.
What We're Looking For
* Strong background in heavy civil earthworks within a contractor environment
* Proven experience running multiple crews and work fronts
* Experience delivering under pressure on schedule‐driven projects with LD exposure preferred
* Ability to manage productivity in challenging ground conditions
* Practical, solutions‐focused approach
* Comfortable working in a developing systems environment
Plant & Equipment
* Excavators up to 36t
* D9 dozers for ripping hard material
* Graders with GPS/UTS for final trim
* Side tipper fleet, loaders, rollers and water carts
Roster & Package
* 2:1 roster
* $105/hour plus super paid on ordinary hours
* Accommodation provided in South Hedland
Duration
* Start mid-May
* Project runs through to December with a fixed programme end date
If you're a delivery‐focused Superintendent who can run multiple crews and drive output in a tough environment, this is a strong opportunity to step into a key role on a high‐profile earthworks package.
