Deep Foundation General Superintendent

GeoStabilization International (GSI), Access Limited, and RoadGuard together form a leading infrastructure solutions platform dedicated to protecting people and strengthening critical infrastructure across North America and New Zealand.

GSI is the premier geohazard mitigation firm specializing in emergency slope stabilization, landslide repair, grouting, and micropiles through innovative design-build delivery. Access Limited brings over a century of steep-slope expertise and operates North America’s largest fleet of spider excavators, delivering complex rockfall and geotechnical solutions in the most challenging environments. RoadGuard, founded in 2024, unites industry-leading roadway safety companies providing guardrail, bridge railing, highway signage, fencing, and specialty fabrication services.

Across all our businesses, we are driven by innovation, extreme ownership, technical excellence, and a relentless commitment to measurable results that improve safety and infrastructure resilience.

GSI is seeking a General Superintendent to join our Casing Drilling operations leadership team. This role sits on the Division Management Team and reports to the Division Operations Manager. You'll join a team that already includes experienced casing-focused General Superintendents — the expectation is that you bring your own expertise, push the standard higher, and grow alongside peers who take this work as seriously as you do.

We're looking for a leader who understands that deep foundation, small diameter drilling is not about spinning steel. It's about installing structural systems correctly the first time, in unstable slopes, emergency geohazard conditions, and structurally sensitive environments where installation accuracy, casing integrity, and ground control determine project success. If you've operated at that standard and now want to build the teams that do, this is where you scale your impact.

What You'll Do

As General Superintendent, you provide senior field leadership across multiple crews and Superintendents executing geohazard mitigation, slope stabilization, and deep foundation drilling projects across the U.S. You are the senior technical and operational decision-maker in the field — managing safety, production, quality, people, and client relationships simultaneously across your assigned Squad-Teams.

Live by and actively reinforce Company Core Values; ensure every crew member understands and operates within GSI's safety program and culture — protecting the people around you is priority one

Lead, coach, and formally evaluate Superintendents on a minimum bi-annual basis; administer performance coaching and bonuses within specified ranges

Provide direct support to Superintendents to ensure their success on active projects — concentric casing systems, duplex head drilling, dual rotary systems, percussion systems, tie-back and micropile casing, and grouting operations

Develop and maintain training plans for all personnel in your business unit, from Driller Helpers through Senior Drillers; communicate weekly training priorities aligned to active project demands

Attend Division Management meetings; keep leadership informed of major project developments, safety events, client issues, and crew performance — good and bad

Coordinate crew logistics and scheduling in collaboration with the scheduling team, balancing operational requirements with leave, travel rotation, and project access windows

Coordinate work and communications between Squad-Teams, departments, and Divisions; manage the interface between GSI crews, engineers, clients, and subcontractors

Ensure each crew is installing products in accordance with job drawings, project worksheets, engineered specifications, and Standard Operating Procedures — verticality, alignment, embedment tolerances, grout control, and structural load transfer principles are non-negotiable

Maintain and strengthen relationships with owners, general contractors, engineers, and vendors

Drive crew performance, rapidly address deficiencies, and lead by example in the field

What Separates Good from Elite at the GS Level

Competent General Superintendents manage crews and hit schedules. Elite ones do more:

Anticipate subsurface and logistical challenges before they escalate to project risk

Build Superintendents and Senior Drillers who can independently protect casing integrity, improve production efficiency, and mentor their own crews

Take ownership of the structural outcome across every project in their portfolio — not just the schedule

Elevate team standards across the division, not just within a single crew

Demonstrate the discipline and technical credibility to lead people who take real pride in precision work

What You Bring

Required:

Minimum 5 years of experience in geotechnical drilling, deep foundation construction, or closely related heavy civil or ground support environments

Minimum 3 years as a Superintendent or equivalent field leadership role, with demonstrated experience managing multiple crews or Superintendents simultaneously

Deep hands-on experience with casing drilling systems — concentric casing (Symmetrix, ODEX, Elemex, or equivalent), duplex head, dual rotary, and/or percussion systems

Proven ability to lead crews advancing casing through collapsing overburden, mixed face conditions, variable rock-to-soil transitions, high groundwater, and flowing sands

Strong understanding of casing sequencing, grout control, and structural load transfer principles — you can teach these, not just execute them

Proven ability to read scopes, specs, and engineered plans and hold crews accountable to quality and schedule from the ground up

Strong, clear communication with crews, clients, engineers, and internal leadership

Ability to motivate teams under pressure, manage competing priorities, and make sound decisions in poorly defined or rapidly changing field conditions

Comfort with 100% travel — outdoor work across climates ranging from mountains to deserts

Valid driver's license required; CDL-A is a plus

Preferred — but not required to apply:

Experience on slope stabilization, soil nail, rock anchor, shotcrete, or grouting projects in addition to drilling

OSHA 30 or construction safety certification

Experience interfacing with geotechnical engineers or contractor oversight teams on complex ground support projects

Micropile or tieback installation experience in high-consequence or structurally sensitive environments

Why General Superintendents Choose GSI

Real advancement. Clear path to Operations Manager and Division leadership. GSI promotes from within and the path is well-worn.

Work that matters. You're not building parking lots. You're installing structural systems that protect infrastructure and keep communities safe.
