As the Director , you play a critical leadership role in shaping the success of our field operations. Overseeing a team of 8–12 Superintendents, you provide both strategic direction and tactical oversight to ensure projects are delivered safely on time, and within budget. From preconstruction planning through project execution, you maintain a clear vision of the “big picture” while also paying attention to the technical details that drive project quality.

In this high-visibility role, you will oversee the construction of public and private paving and civil projects—highways, roadways, sitework, and related infrastructure—ensuring the work is performed to the highest workmanship standards. You’ll review and analyze project documentation, subcontractor agreements, and material purchasing strategies while identifying opportunities for cost savings and process improvement. By fostering collaboration across teams, you create a culture of accountability, safety, and innovation.
