We need an experienced asphalt superintendent based in Chesapeake, VA to run paving operations in Fairfax and surrounding Tidewater areas.

• • Enforce safety standards, maintain daily logs, report site issues, and coordinate with project management and suppliers

What We're Looking For

• • 5+ years hands-on asphalt paving experience with at least 2 years supervising field crews
• • Proven ability to run paver operations and supervise screed operators, lute men, and transfer machine crews
• • Practical knowledge of asphalt mixes, compaction procedures, density testing, and paving QC
• • Experience coordinating equipment (pavers, rollers, transfer machines, skid steers) and material deliveries
• • Able to read plans, understand grade control, and communicate progress to project leads
• • Valid driver’s license, able to pass drug screen; reliable transportation to job sites

Qualifications

• • Asphalt Density Technician certification (or experience working with certified density techs)
• • Paving Quality Control Technician training or equivalent field experience
• • Screed Operator and Paving Equipment Operator experience/certification
• • OSHA 10-hour construction safety card (preferred)
• • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
• • English proficiency for on-site communication (Spanish helpful)

What We Offer

• • 401(k) or retirement plan options
• • Paid safety training and certification support
• • Tools and equipment allowances or company-provided safety gear
