Company: Goodwerk Construction

Location: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Full-time, on-site)

About Goodwerk

Goodwerk Construction is a vertically integrated builder specializing in high-density, multi-residential, and student housing projects across Canada.

We combine development, design, construction, and operations under one platform to deliver projects that are efficient, resilient, and built to last.

Our upcoming 10-storey prefabricated concrete high-rise in Saskatoon (±285 units / ±670 student beds, with two levels of underground parking) represents a flagship project for our prefab platform — and we're building a top-tier leadership team to deliver it.

The Opportunity

We're seeking an experienced and proactive Senior Superintendent to partner with the Construction Director in leading all on-site operations.

You will take ownership of day-to-day site coordination, civil and structural works, site logistics, and field leadership, ensuring that every phase of construction aligns with Goodwerk's standards of safety, quality, and schedule excellence.

This is a key leadership role for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial, organized, and forward-thinking environment, using lean construction principles, Last Planner methodology, and scrum-style planning to drive performance and accountability.

Key Responsibilities1. Field Leadership & Execution

• Oversee all daily site operations from mobilization through occupancy, ensuring work is performed safely, efficiently, and to specification.
• Work directly with the Construction Director to plan sequencing, manpower, logistics, and priorities for each construction phase.
• Manage day-to-day execution of concrete, structural, envelope, and MEP scopes, maintaining flow between trades and minimizing downtime.
• Supervise and mentor the site leadership team, including Assistant Superintendents, Coordinators, and Foremen.
• Lead daily huddles, coordination meetings, and 2–6 week lookahead sessions to maintain schedule alignment.
• Facilitate and track Last Planner commitments; measure weekly progress using key production indicators.
• Proactively identify and resolve conflicts or delays before they impact the critical path.

2. Site Logistics & Civil Works

• Develop and continuously update site logistics plans, including crane locations, access routes, staging, and laydown zones.
• Oversee civil works and underground infrastructure, including excavation, shoring, utilities, storm/sanitary tie-ins, backfill, grading, and paving.
• Coordinate with civil and structural engineers to validate tolerances, sequencing, and design changes.
• Plan and manage temporary systems — hoarding, heating, water, power, and dewatering — ensuring site readiness through all seasons.
• Monitor delivery routes, material storage, and hoisting to maintain a clean, organized, and efficient site.

3. Scheduling & Production Planning

• Collaborate with the Construction Director to maintain and drive the master project schedule.
• Lead pull planning sessions to identify task dependencies, manpower needs, and milestone risks.
• Translate the master schedule into daily and weekly commitments through scrum-based production planning.
• Track and report actual progress against the schedule; implement recovery plans as needed.
• Hold trades accountable to sequence, durations, and productivity benchmarks.

4. Trade Coordination & Quality Control

• Manage the workflow and performance of all subcontractors and suppliers on site.
• Ensure trades are executing to approved drawings, specifications, and QA/QC requirements.
• Review and sign off on inspections, testing, and mock-ups to ensure compliance.
• Support the Construction Director in scope review, gap analysis, and field coordination.
• Verify completion of work before releasing payments or moving to the next phase.
• Lead regular site walks and ensure deficiencies are tracked and closed promptly.

5. Safety, Compliance & Culture

• Champion Goodwerk's safety-first culture, ensuring all workers understand and follow OHS procedures.
• Conduct regular toolbox talks, inspections, and safety audits in coordination with the Safety Officer.
• Ensure site documentation — permits, hot work, confined space, and lift plans — is accurate and up to date.
• Promote a respectful, professional, and collaborative site culture that mirrors Goodwerk's core values.

6. Reporting & Communication

• Maintain clear, daily communication with the Construction Director, consultants, and ownership.
• Provide daily site reports, progress photos, and manpower logs.
• Attend and lead coordination meetings with consultants, engineers, and city inspectors.
• Represent Goodwerk with professionalism, accuracy, and accountability in all interactions.

• Proven ability to manage complex civil, structural, and finishing scopes on projects valued $30M–$80M+.
• Strong technical background in concrete structures, civil infrastructure, and site logistics.
• Experience with prefabricated or precast concrete assembly and crane coordination.
• Hands-on experience implementing Last Planner System, scrum, and lean construction principles.
• Proficiency with Procore, Fieldwire, PlanGrid, and MS Project.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
