Job Description

Field Superintendent – Underground Utilities (Water, Storm, Sewer)

Location: Austin, TX

Salary: $130,000-$155,000

About the Role

Since 1994, ELLA Contracting has been building the backbone of Texas infrastructure — water, stormwater, and sanitary sewer systems that communities depend on. We don’t chase easy projects. We take on the tough, complex, heavy civil jobs for cities, utilities, and agencies that demand precision and accountability.

We’re looking for a Field Superintendent with 5–10+ years of hands-on experience leading multiple crews in the field. This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role — making decisions, solving problems, and holding teams accountable to the highest standards of safety, quality, and performance.

If you’ve successfully delivered projects with the City of Austin, TxDOT, or NBU , and you’re driven by results and responsibility, you’ll fit right in at ELLA.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead and supervise multiple field crews on underground utility and concrete projects.
  • Drive daily production to meet project schedules and budgets.
  • Coordinate with Project Managers, engineers, and inspectors on public and commercial projects.
  • Ensure strict compliance with TxDOT, City, and utility standards .
  • Enforce safety protocols and maintain a culture of accountability on every site.
  • Conduct site inspections, solve problems in real time, and make sound decisions under pressure.
  • Track and report project progress using Office Suite and field software (Heavy Job, etc.) .
  • Train, mentor, and evaluate crew leaders and foremen.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5–10+ years of hands-on experience in underground utilities/heavy civil construction.
  • Proven success leading multiple field crews on complex projects.
  • Experience with City of Austin, TxDOT, and NBU specifications and processes.
  • Strong decision-making skills and ability to manage high-pressure situations.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills — must lead from the front.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and field reporting tools.
  • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel to job sites.
Why Join ELLA

We’re not looking for someone to just manage crews — we need a leader who takes ownership of tough projects and builds trust through results. At ELLA, you’ll join a company built on core values, accountability, and a get-it-done attitude .

We grow because our clients demand it, and our team delivers. If you want to be part of a company where performance and people come first, this is the role for you.

Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive pay + profit-sharing bonus structure
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • 75% company-paid medical insurance for family coverage
  • Vision, dental, life, and short-term disability insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • 5-year sabbatical program with cash bonus
