What Students Say
Field superintendents manage the construction of a project at the site. Their responsibilities include project implementation, project scheduling, safety management, client interaction, cost controls, sub-contractor management and performance, work schedule creation, site staffing, and functional oversight of project performance through contract completion. Field supervisors also prepare progress reports, make recommendations on ways to improve work methods, meet with construction managers to discuss problems and solutions, and work with employees to improve performance.
