Scope of Role:

The Project Manager is responsible for every aspect of the Construction Project. He / she may delegate authority, but the final responsibility is his / hers.

Customer satisfaction is extremely important and can be achieved through building relationships, strong leadership skills and quality execution of the proposed work. Building relationships with each of our customers and ensuring we are exceeding their expectations are key to our success. The long-term growth and profitability of our construction business can be achieved by these relationships with repeat business. Managing the projects to execute at better than estimated margins is the goal on every project. Making sure that we are ahead of any unforeseen issues and have a plan for recovery when they occur is paramount.

How to Succeed:

Lead by example - Build trust and respect from each of our coworkers by developing work plans that empower them to succeed. Communicate with the team your expectations to work safely, work efficiently and be profitable. Develop training plans or in-house training to continuously improve our abilities.

Customer expectations - Establish a relationship with each on site leader and customer, listen to their expectations, develop work plans that meet their needs and maintain a close relationship throughout the life of the project. Ensure that the execution of each project meets or exceeds the customer's expectations and is within budget. Change orders and unforeseen issues must be addressed quickly and thoroughly to maintain a customer's trust.

Profitable Business - Ensure when planning daily work assignments, the scope of work is fully understood, all take-offs for material purchases are accurate and specifications are met. Execution of projects will be managed within the cost expectations set during the estimating phase.
