With over 15 years in the civil construction industry on Vancouver Island, Milestone Equipment Contracting Inc. has built its reputation through strong relationships, operational excellence, and a commitment to investing in people. As we expand into the East Kootenay region, we are looking for a Superintendent who wants to help build something meaningful and long-term alongside a growing, values-driven company.

Ensuring projects align with Milestone’s operational systems and standards
Utilizing technology, reporting systems, and planning tools effectively
Identifying and solving problems proactively while maintaining a calm and solutions-focused approach
Contributing to a strong, accountable, and team-oriented culture

What We’re Looking For

Extensive civil construction experience in field leadership roles

Experience mentoring and developing younger leaders
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
A collaborative and solutions-oriented leadership style

A growth-minded approach with a willingness to continuously improve

Local East Kootenay experience and relationships are considered a significant asset, including familiarity with:

Municipalities and inspectors

Local labour markets
Weather and seasonal construction impacts
Regional logistics and material supply considerations

5+ years in a Superintendent or senior field leadership role
Valid Class 5 Driver’s License
