Superintendent, Construction

Projects are successful because they have been effectively supervised during the course of construction. The ideal superintendent is a good listener and has strong decision-making skills. They understand what is at risk because they have analyzed and reviewed each possible outcome. As a superintendent, you are humble yet firm and you are ok acknowledging what you don’t know. The superintendent sets the tone and establishes relationships with project stakeholders.

They are disciplined and organized in their processes.
