Civil Superintendent

Job Description

About Sunset Valley Construction

We're a sitework and underground utilities contractor focused on building and maintaining essential infrastructure. Our team is projecting to double in size over the next four years, giving you career growth opportunities as you help steer our next phase of expansion.

How You’ll Contribute

As our first Superintendent hire, you'll guide 2 projects with the assistance of Foreman as we grow our team and project capacity. With a deep understanding of dirt, pipe, production, and people, you'll plan, coordinate, schedule, and execute work efficiently while developing crews to help us grow stronger, smarter, and more capable with every project.

What You'll Get To Do

Maintain the structure, foresight, accountability, and predictability that will allow the operations manager to step back with confidence

Take ownership of major site projects for apartment buildings, roads, subdivisions, infrastructure rebuilds, and utility work valued up to $4M

Bridge the gap between leadership’s goals and the field’s execution, shaping how things get done on the ground, with 95% of your time spent in the field

Balance old-school know-how (because GPS is great until it breaks) with a modern approach to leading people.

Manage $5M+ in annual revenue including subcontractors and self-perform work for concurrent projects, with 5% of your time in the office for project management needs.

Work alongside a highly supportive leadership team and workforce committed to helping you succeed and grow

Keep your evenings and weekends free, working in the greater Hartford area (within 1 hour of Ellington)

What You Bring

10+ years in construction and leadership, with at least 5 years in heavy civil

Understanding of grades, pipe, wet utilities, layout, and quality control

You grew up with a shovel, you're proud of your boots-on-ground knowledge, and you're more comfortable with a shovel than typing on a computer.

You find that helping others hone their skills is personally satisfying. You're the kind of superintendent everyone wants to learn from.
