Travelling Commercial Superintendent

About the role

First Onsite is hiring several Commercial Superintendents to join our Travelling team for major projects in Saskatchewan. These are 12-month temporary contracts supporting large-scale construction and restoration work across three First Nations communities. You’ll work alongside a full project team and be responsible for leading field staff, coordinating contractors and sub-trades, keeping work on track, and ensuring safety documentation, reporting and timesheets are completed accurately.

Construction or restoration experience is a strong asset, but it isn’t the only background we’re looking for. If you’ve successfully led teams in another fast-paced, hands-on environment and are organized, comfortable with technology and paperwork, and confident keeping people accountable, we’d like to hear from you.

Schedule

This is a rotational travelling role, currently anticipated to be approximately 3–4 weeks on site followed by 7–10 days at home, working a 6-day work week while on assignment. Required travel and accommodations are provided by First Onsite.

$29–$34/hour based on experience, plus a daily per diem.

• Communicate well, handle conflict professionally and solve problems independently

Qualifications

• Experience leading or coordinating small teams in construction, restoration, trades, field operations or another fast-paced, hands-on environment
• Construction, restoration, mitigation or disaster-response experience is a strong asset, with compensation reflective of relevant experience
• Comfortable directing the work of field staff, contractors and sub-trades, including setting expectations, following up and addressing issues when needed
• Strong organization skills with the ability to manage documentation, safety paperwork, reporting and timesheets
• Comfortable using a smartphone, web-based applications and technology to upload, download and record information
• Strong communication, problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills
• Safety-focused and comfortable leading by example in an active job-site environment
