Superintendent

Superintendents maintain a full-time on-site presence at the Project Site to guarantee our commitment to building the right way and by the most cost-effective, schedule-conscious means possible. They are responsible for implementing and enforcing Butler-Cohen’s safety culture on the project site, as well as providing continuous field supervision, coordination, and completion of the Work, and managing the site. Other tasks include but are not limited to organization and coordination of Subcontractors, keeping cost records on Work performed and materials supplied, controlling costs in materials and wages, and exercising control over the rate of construction progress to ensure completion of the Project within the Project Schedule; inspecting or observing the Work to enforce conformity to the Contract Documents; and supervising trades, subcontractors, clerical staff, and other personnel employed in the construction of the Project.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES

• Jobsite Administration
• Site Logistics
• Creation and maintenance of the project’s site logistics plan.
• Housekeeping
• Ensure the cleanliness of the project site. Work with trade partners to ensure that they are cleaning up after themselves, to ensure the job site remains in a constant state of cleanliness.
• Workflow
• Ensure that the project has a smooth flow of work to facilitate the project schedule. Sites should be established to ensure efficient production for all trade partners.
• Identification and execution of supplementary “parking lot” work that can be worked, without impacting other work activities, but that may not be critical.
• Jobsite Trailer
• The jobsite trailer is an extension of Butler-Cohen’s home office. The trailer and facilities should remain clean and always be presentable.
• Daily Huddle
• Execution of daily huddles with all trade partners.
• Subcontractor Preconstruction Meetings
• Leading subcontractor preconstruction meetings, with the assistance of the Project Manager and other team members. Documentation of sub-preconstruction meetings should be discussed, and responsibility for these should be defined on a project-by-project basis.
• Project Scheduling
• Look Aheads

Pull Planning

• Monitoring the production of the actual work onsite as it relates to the pull plan. Communicate with other team members when production doesn’t seem to be matching the plan (for both over-/under production concerns)
• Master Schedule
• Material Procurement
• Assistance with communication of “needed onsite” dates for long lead items.
• Work hand in hand with the Project Manager and the Project Engineer for the identification of long lead items and how these affect the schedule.
• Project Constraints
• Documentation of Delays
• QA/QC
• Submittals
• Read/coordinate various shop drawings.
• Field Inspections
• Scheduling testing/inspections, including third-party
• Safety: JHA,BC Focus 6, Audits, Reporting
• Document Control: Creation of daily logs.
• Most current and accurate drawings are being utilized in the jobsite trailer for the purpose of building.
• Assist the project team with the posting of RFI’s, submittals, etc., as necessary. The Superintendent’s participation in this process will vary depending on the project team size, and these responsibilities should be identified and discussed amongst project team members at the onset of the project.
• Keep track of as-built changes in project records to corroborate that all changes are being tracked in the subcontractor's as-built drawings
• Business Development: As a superintendent, you interact, often times in person, with many people daily. This includes clients, designers, testing labs, trade partners, etc. It is important to establish relationships with these people, as those relationships can be a differentiator in your and Butler-Cohen’s ability to land the next project.
• Be inquisitive when interacting with people, and as you learn about potential new work, feed those leads to the Business Development department so that the BD department can track and work towards landing the next projects.
