Roadway Superintendent - NCDOT (opportunity to progress to General Superintendent)

Location: Raleigh, NC

Salary: up to $120,000 (depending on experience)

 

I have a fantastic opportunity for a Roadway Superintendent with ambitions to progress into a General Superintendent or an experienced General Superintendent who is experienced with the additional responsibility a GS takes on. My client is open to speaking to both and will provide training for those who want to make a step up into that role and slowly transition them under the guidance of their world-class leadership team.

 

This company has been a key player in infrastructure development across the Carolinas since the mid 90s. They own quarries, operate asphalt plants, and manage a specialized logistics fleet, enabling them to oversee projects from raw material extraction to completion. Their portfolio includes highways, bridges, and commercial developments. ​

 

They've secured over $100 million in contracts with the North Carolina Department of Transportation and other clients. Notable projects include a $60M+ contract for the rehabilitation and resurfacing of a major interchange, and a $25M+ million contract for roadway and bridge reconstruction as well as a $500+ million expressway project.

 

With a workforce of over 500 employees, they've constructed more than 15,000 miles of roadways. Their client list features prominent names like FedEx, Toyota, and major homebuilders. Looking ahead, they're expanding into the Carolina Core region, aiming to capitalize on increased infrastructure spending and upcoming megasite projects. ​
