General SummaryLead an assigned civil project or major scope with multiple operations or work areas for the Texas Civil Group, emphasizing mass grading, and large-scale site development. Projects may support utility-scale solar, wind energy, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and substations. Directs Superintendent I personnel, foremen, and craft employees and coordinates subcontractor interfaces, resources, safety, quality, and production. Strong transferable civil leadership is the foundation; direct energy-sector experience is preferred.
Essential Job Accountabilities1. Safety Leadership - Lead Granite's safety program across assigned operations; verify pre-task planning, coach field leaders, stop unsafe work, and confirm corrective actions before work resumes.
2. Environmental Protection - Coordinate compliance with project environmental requirements, including stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) measures, erosion and sediment controls, dust suppression, and spill prevention across active work areas.
3. Integrated Civil Execution - Lead clearing, earthwork, mass and finish grading, roads, drainage, stabilization, and related site work to meet approved plans, specifications, budgets, and schedules.
4. Field Planning and Sequencing - Develop execution and look-ahead plans with project management; sequence work areas, balance cut and fill, plan haul routes and access, and coordinate handoffs between operations.
5. Leadership and Staffing - Direct and develop Superintendent I personnel and foremen; forecast staffing, support hiring within delegated authority, and address performance and training needs with management.
6. Resource Management - Balance crews, equipment fleets, materials, and subcontractor support across operations; coordinate mobilization, maintenance, utilization, and demobilization.
7. Production and Financial Performance - Ensure accurate quantity and resource reporting; review unit production, labor and equipment costs, and rework with project management. Provide field input to cost-to-complete forecasts and lead corrective or recovery plans.
8. Survey and Grade Control - Coordinate survey and grade-control support; verify use of current approved plans and machine-control files and resolve discrepancies with appropriate technical personnel.
9. Quality and Turnover - Coordinate inspection and testing plans, grading tolerances, drainage, moisture and compaction requirements, and acceptance checks; resolve deficiencies and plan phased turnover with complete supporting records.
10. Trade and Client Coordination - Represent assigned field operations in coordination meetings; resolve access and sequencing conflicts with subcontractors, suppliers, client representatives, and other trades in coordination with project management.
11. Change, Risk, and Reporting - Identify differing conditions, scope changes, and schedule risks; ensure timely daily reports, photos, and project-team notification. Coordinate commitments with project management within delegated authority and support requests for information and change orders.
12. Completion and Improvement - Lead punch-list completion, site restoration, and field closeout; capture lessons learned, standardize effective practices, and develop field leaders for future projects.
Education- High School Diploma or Equivalency.
Work Experience- 8+ years in construction management and/or craft supervision experience (i.e. Foreman) in heavy civil construction, earthwork, mass grading, or comparable site development.
- Demonstrated leadership of multiple crews or concurrent civil operations, including direction of foremen or superintendents and coordination of staffing, equipment, quality, production, and schedule priorities.
- Experience evaluating field productive and cost performance, resolving construction constraints, and implementing coordinated corrective or recovery plans.
Preferred- Civil experience supporting utility-scale solar, wind, BESS, or substations, including grading, access roads, crane or equipment pads, drainage, or aggregate surfacing. Direct energy-sector experience is preferred, not required; comparable heavy civil, mass grading, and large-scale site development experience is valued.
