• Ensure safety standards are consistently enforced on-site.

• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications / Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in heavy civil construction with strong underground utility experience.
• Prior experience as a superintendent or foreman on public works or civil infrastructure projects, particularly those involving street work (e.g., roads, utilities, trenching, etc.).
• Expert knowledge of utility construction, trench safety, and inspection protocols.
• Strong leadership, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to manage teams directly in the field.
• Ability to read civil plans and efficiently manage field resources.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to job sites across Ventura County and surrounding areas.
