Join a safety-first general contractor delivering large-scale commercial projects across Canada, with competitive compensation, a 10-on/4-off rotation, and the opportunity to play a key role in fast-paced builds while working alongside an experienced site leadership team.
About Our Client
Our client is a well-established, safety-first general contractor delivering large-scale commercial and light industrial projects across Canada. They’re known for combining big-project capability with a tight-knit, accountable team culture and strong repeat business.
About the Opportunity
This is a Travelling Assistant Site Superintendent opportunity supporting major builds (often big-box retail / large footprint commercial) with very aggressive timelines. You’ll be the right-hand to the Site Superintendent, helping drive day-to-day field execution, trade coordination, site safety, and schedule adherence—while gaining exposure to complex, high-value projects and strong processes. The shifts will be 10 on and 4 off.
About the Position
As the Assistant Site Superintendent, you will support on-site delivery by coordinating subcontractors, tracking progress against the schedule, maintaining high standards for safety and workmanship, and helping remove roadblocks before they impact timelines.
