SUPERVISORY CONSTRUCTION ROLE Construction superintendents must have at least a high-level understanding of various aspects of construction projects. Consequently, many companies hiring construction superintendents expect candidates to have several years of experience in a prior supervisory construction role (particularly ones fulfilled on job sites). To become a construction superintendent, one must generally have at least a bachelor's degree in a related subject such as construction management, engineering, or architecture. In the absence of a degree, one must typically have a significant amount of relevant work experience. PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE It's uncommon for professionals to become construction superintendents right out of school. Instead, they must accumulate on-the-job experience, preferably in management roles (although it will, of course, take time to qualify for these positions as well). Necessary Training Overseeing job site safety and competencies is a key responsibility for construction superintendents. Consequently, OSHA safety certificates can be valuable assets for professionals looking to demonstrate knowledge in this crucial area. • 10-Hour and 30-Hour Cards / One key advantage of receiving certifications from OSHA, of course, is that OSHA is a U.S. federal government agency with certifications recognized nation-wide. So, if there's a chance you might ever relocate, pursuing an OSHA certification (as opposed to a more geographically bound one) may prove wise. • Competent in areas of construction to be able to identify compliance and or deficiencies performing construction related activities. • Excavation • Traffic control • Fall protection. • Equipment operations • Confined space • PPE • Etc • Continuous leadership training • Proficient Software efficiencies such as MS office, CAD and project management platforms. • Scheduling platforms Successful completion of a project requires the following to be in place. • Structure, a blueprint of a workday allows for the Superintendent to establish his/her activities and communicate expectations allowing for a planned approach to the workday alleviating stress which will create loss of productivity, moral and overall failure to the project. • Experience successfully managing people. • Consistency is key to communicating with the project team daily to set expectations and to allow them to understand their role and to ask questions up front, so everyone is on the same page. • Constant communication between all members of the project management team. • Creating a positive culture on the project. 1. Develop a Culture Committed to All Facets of Safety 2. Create a culture where workers are not afraid to ask questions. 3. Create a platform to teach workers helping them to move forward. 4.
