Assistant Superintendent
CurrentI was brought on to this job when the former assistant superintendent quit mid-project. I was trained with a head of another project for about 2 weeks.

I was trained with a head of another project for about 2 weeks. We are building an assisted living center for the elderly/disabled. My main responsibilities include preparing every unit (each unit has a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom) to look professional and complete by observing flaws in every trade's work. This means I essentially marketed the rooms to the likeliness of the owners. In order to do this effectively, I had to coordinate with heads of companies contracted by O’Brien in order to accomplish tasks in a timely manner. The job will finish 3 months ahead of its original schedule and significantly under budget.In order to keep track of every item that needed fixed, I had to master the system Procore, which according to their website, "helps firms drastically increase project efficiency and accountability by streamlining and mobilizing project communications and documentation. This real time data and accessibility minimizes costly risks and delays—ultimately boosting profits. Using our award-winning suite of project management tools, over a million registered Procore users across the globe manage all types of construction projects including industrial plants, office buildings, apartment complexes, university facilities, retail centers, and more".This job relies heavily on skills such as teamwork, delegation, and risk management. You have to cooperate with everyone in order to get things done effectively, it's not just one trade or one company. Being in the position of power that I am in, it's important to delegate items that I cannot do myself. Show less
