About the Role
We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Site Superintendent to lead field operations on commercial construction projects in the Grande Prairie region. This is a senior site leadership role — you'll be the boots-on-the-ground leader responsible for safety, quality, schedule, and team performance from mobilization through to deficiency closeout.
At ACL, Superintendents aren't just project managers in hard hats — they're the culture carriers on site. You'll mentor the next generation of tradespeople, coordinate complex multi-trade scopes, and deliver projects that matter to the communities we serve.

- Comprehensive benefits through Open Circle
- Bonus pay opportunities
- Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
- Employee-owned company — your contributions are recognized and rewarded
- Diverse project portfolio with work in communities across Western Canada
- A collaborative, growth-focused team environment
The Work You'll Be Doing
Our Grande Prairie projects span a range of complex commercial scopes — including large-scale recreational facilities, municipal and civic buildings, multi-family residential developments, and supportive housing. You can expect to run projects with real scale and complexity: coordinating multiple trade packages, managing design-build elements, working through challenging site conditions, and delivering to high-profile clients and communities who are counting on the finished product.

- Oversee site cleanliness, organization, security, and after-hours access coordination
- Monitor and approve on-site time tracking for ACL staff
- Identify and report equipment needs; ensure only trained personnel operate machinery
- Mentor, train, and develop site staff
- Coordinate manpower and equipment logistics across company-wide priorities
- Schedule and lead regular site meetings with subcontractors and office staff
- Order and track materials; maintain awareness of contract scope and lead times
- Review workmanship, enforce contract compliance, and lead deficiency resolution
Required Skills & Experience
- 10+ years of hands-on construction experience, with at least 3 years in a supervisory or site leadership role
- Proficient in reading blueprints and technical drawings
- Strong understanding of Alberta Building Code and construction best practices
- Experience across a range of scopes: framing, concrete forming and finishing, rebar, siding systems, thermal and moisture protection, millwork, interior and exterior finishing

- Strong communication skills with owners, architects, consultants, and trades
- Proven safety leadership — COR familiarity is an asset

- Ability to travel or coordinate for out-of-town projects if required
Preferred Attributes
- Passion for mentoring and developing others
- Strong organizational and time management skills
