Job description
Peterson Consulting Group is actively hiring a Construction Superintendent with wet utilities experience in the Denver area to join a well-established, growth-oriented heavy civil contractor. This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role for a superintendent who understands how civil projects are truly built — from mass excavation and underground utilities to final tie-ins and close-out.
This opportunity is ideal for a field leader who has led self-perform crews, partnered effectively with subcontractors, and taken ownership of complex civil scopes including storm, sewer, water, and earthwork on DOT, municipal, and private infrastructure projects.
What You’ll Do
Lead day-to-day field operations on heavy civil and wet utility projects, ensuring safe production, schedule adherence, and quality execution
Coordinate with project managers, engineers, inspectors, subcontractors, and internal crews to keep work moving and resolve field issues proactively
Manage and motivate foremen, operators, laborers, and subcontractors, driving productivity and accountability in the field
Oversee underground scopes including trenching, pipe installation, shoring, dewatering, backfill, and compaction
Champion jobsite safety, conduct daily huddles, enforce OSHA standards, and maintain a strong safety culture
Track production, quantities, and field progress while communicating updates, risks, and look-ahead schedules to leadership
What We’re Looking For
High school diploma or equivalent (construction management or related education preferred)
5+ years of superintendent experience in heavy civil construction, with a strong emphasis on wet utilities
Proven ability to run self-perform work and manage multiple crews and subcontractors
Experience working on DOT, municipal, and infrastructure projects
Strong communication skills and comfort working with inspectors, owners, and internal leadership
Working knowledge of construction technology, GPS/machine control, and project management tools
Deep understanding of jobsite safety, means and methods, and best-in-class construction practices
Why Join This Team
Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance
Flexible Time Off (FTO)
401(k) retirement plan
Longevity bonuses that reward long-term commitment
