As a super you are expected to work 10-12 hour days and Saturday's too without extra compensation. If you build ahead of schedule you might get a bonus and if you finish late you will get fired.

If this is your process, find a different method. During my Forty year career, 26 as a Project or Site Superintendent, your perform your job during established working hours. Hours may fluctuate, early morning concrete pour as an example, but your days should not be 10 - 12 hours. Saturday work is to be off the table and should have been discussed at your interview. If you are expected to work that much on a salary, move on. They do not respect you. I have been there and and walked away from a $100,000+ position.

@@markrogers7050 Its not a matter of method this is just the way things are in NYC particularly Manhattan with all supers. There is no respect ,all they see is the bottom line and always go with the cheapest bid. They do pay well $200K and up but you work for it and stress is through the roof. Keep in mind that these are buildings with at least 200 person workforce and up to 500 people daily. Huge jobs.

You are not in the right company , happened to me months ago 60 hours a week paid 40 as a Project Engineer in Miami, I guess is the culture down here, or I was in the wrong company.. supers don’t even know how to use computers , old school people. Very hard team to guide

The industry has definitely changed over the years. When I started, we had a fax machine in the office, and we stapled Polaroid pictures to the pages of our composition books. Technology has definitely changed things for us out in the field and is imperative for proper and timely communication. With that said, I'm trying to convince the company where I work to invest in Procore, but they are apprehensive about the price tag. Is there a more affordable software that you would recommend?

Hey Jason. I just accepted a job as a project superintendent with a new GC after 3 years working for my current GC in the capacity of a superintendent without the title. I’ve run 5 jobs now as a superintendent while still holding the title of assistant superintendent. In some ways that lack of title has been almost like a safety net for me. Now that I’ve accepted this new role with a new GC (and placed my family’s livelihood on the line to pursue growth), I find myself nervous to actually take on my first project WITH the title. It’s like I’ve lost my safety net. Thoughts or advice would be appreciated my friend.
@jasonwilliamschroeder

Here is my advice. There is no such thing as security. Let it go. Let the title motivate you to take more action. If you connect with your trades and ask for help, you are unstoppable. Follow the lean process and you will excel. And if you fail, it will never matter as long as you cared for people and your family along the way.

Hey Jason, I have been a civil superintendent for two projects now. The first one was rough and my learning curve was steep, the second one ran a lot smoother. I know I still have a lot to learn and with the amount of training and information out there it becomes a little over whelming and not really sure the best place to start that will be valuable to my growth. I did get your book on audible and have listened to it multiple times but I feel there should be more. Please help me out.

1. Respect for people & resources 2. Stability & flow in operations 3. Total participation with visual systems 4. Quality & continuous improvement that meets a customer need. From a practical standpoint, I sometimes use this outline: 1. Respect for people. 2. 5s & eliminate the 8 wastes 3. One process flow 4. Flow together on a Takt time 5. Visual environments 6. Continuous improvement
