A Day in the Life: Construction Superintendent

[@tommylavilla910]

Good construction superintendents are worth there weight in gold especially if they can move projects forward toward completion

[@Bulldog1653]

I couldn't agree more.

[@DavidGonzalez-xs5ve]

Thank you! Great insight into the position. Must watch for people looking into a job like this.

[@MK-it7wk]

Sounds incredibly stressful yet rewarding.

[@Bulldog1653]

It is VERY rewarding to see a project from start to finish. I started as a pipelayer doing storm pipe and moved into operating heavy equipment within a year. As I moved out of utilities into heavy dirt work as an operator, I can tell you every project you do is rewarding. Eventually as I became a Superintendent, the stress & responsibilities increase but it is worth every minute of it.

Is the same as being a general contractor ? I’ve worked with my dad on Residential homes remodeling them & I’m trying to study that in college but I don’t know if I’m about to apply for the right thing or not..

[@michaeljaf5734]

Superintendents work for general contractors

[@codamonday6916]

In the Comments , I saw someone who Referred to himself as: " No Comment " And he wrote; " Bitter carpenter intentionally leaves out Ironworkers from trades.... " To the one called " No Comment " below, the Most Appropriate answer that I can recall is when I heard a Carpenter once say ; " I'm Going to Learn you HOW To Become a Carpenter " !

Rock on dude, thank you.

[@christiansaldana5455]

I want to go into construction management, but could I start off as a construction superintendent then work up to project manager?

[@chrislovesannick]

4 years university for Bachelors in Construction Management.

[@villagecarpenter2266]

PM and CS are on the same level, some senior superintendents earn more than project managers.

[@sadokbarbouche9427]

Superintendent isn't entry level

[@Josh-fz9rh]

You can obtain a CCM cert. with some experience you may be able to supplement that for a degree

[@MrBarboza92]

What if you are already a crew leader would it be recommended or would it be a good idea to become a track home superintendent?

[@101taxdeductions]

thanks for posting

[@airportchronicles199]

Great video, Thx! Whats the best way to break into the field with limited experience?

[@garykee9117]

Airport Chronicle's get experience

[@saadnadeem968]

No there is a construction management program both bachelors and masters. Do that you’ll start as assistant site super or project coordinator. Then you’ll have to climb the ranks

[@JorgeGarcia-fs8ro]
