Construction Superintendent

About the role

The Construction Superintendent leads the transition of the North Bullfrog Project from detailed engineering through construction, commissioning, and handover to operations. This role ensures engineering deliverables are complete, coordinated, and constructible, and that construction activities are effectively planned, resourced, and executed in alignment with project objectives. The Superintendent also supports the NEPA permitting process by ensuring accurate integration of engineering and construction planning into DEIS/EIS documentation. This role is critical to construction readiness, contractor management, and successful delivery of safe, efficient, and compliant project execution.
