JRM Construction Management, LLC

What can I Say except 18yrs and Still going Strong!!!!!   Building the company from where it was in 2005 to where JRM is now is leaps and bounds over the competition.  Construction is not an easy Field for a Career but it is so rewarding to me.  Juggling The Hours required to be successful Super is a hard task but if your doing your job correctly then there is plenty of time for good Balance between Work and Personal/Family time.  As a superintendent there are a lot of responsibilities on the Super which most companies do not have but that is a huge reason why JRM Supers are top notch, JRM Projects are successful, and JRM is at the Top of it's CLASS!!!!!!!  A lot of Supers complain that the entire work load of a project is all on them with the lone tasks of change Orders/financials and Client meeting minutes are left to the Project Mgr.  That is far from the truth.  I have been very successful here at JRM working with any project manager assigned to my project working as a teammate.  The Submittals, Schedules, Long Lead sheets, Shop Drawing reviews Drawing Logs, RFI's, Daily Reports and every other task we are also required to do (especially Safety now) as supers is the only way to know anything and everything about the project.  At JRM the General Supers, Project Directors, Principles or any other employee always pick up the phone or find the time quickly to assist with anything I have ever needed to make a job successful.  Even anything personal or just some advise non work related, they are there for you.  Family, Caring, Successful are 3 words I like to use to describe JRM.  Managing your time properly is the most important task for any and all supers to continually work on for themselves.  If you can not do that then you will either not be successful at work or you will not be successful at home with your family. Possibly Both.  If Complaining about your job is something you find yourself doing as a super, maybe going back to school and becoming a doctor could be an option.  JRM is not the reason, that's for sure. 



A typical day as a laborer for JRM was very straight forward. Either you had specific tasks that the supervisors and tradesmen needed handled, or you were in charge of keeping a neat and organized work environment for all trades. My time at JRM had allowed me to pick up the general knowledge of a lot of skills that involve extensive training, especially if you were keen on asking questions. The culture of the said workplace all depended on the job at hand. The hardest part of the job was balancing a the job with life. A lot of hours, and 6 days a week. The pros of the job definitely outweighed the cons. I would say the most enjoyable part of working for JRM Construction was the relationship the workers had with the staff. It was like being part of a family, which is something I will miss greatly.

Great Company, Great People, Great Environment, Great Pay. I noticed some people mentioned that benefits weren’t good in the past. Not anymore. Jrm offers fantastic and inexpensive health care, vision and dental plans (I have the best plan and I pay $60 a month) and it is an employee owned company with Employee Stock Options. While you may need to put in some time to establish yourself, any job will demand that... but it’s nothing crazy - especially if you work in the office, you work 8-5, maybe 5:30PM.... The field may be a different story of course. 

If you work hard, leadership will recognize it, and take care of you accordingly. The company is rapidly growing and allows for lots of upside and opportunity, so the growth will always be there. Just don’t expect it to happen over night!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits aren’t bad. They’re growing as a company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you’re not part of the clique management pretends you don’t exist until reviews come around. They berate you for stuff that didn’t happen then go back to pretending you’re not there.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Only a few people go out of their way to talk to others. Otherwise it’s usually quiet and most people stay to their cubicles

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get in at 8, pretend to be busy for 8 hours then go home.

I try and maintain a humorous atmosphere as everyone does when they are happy at work.
Rome wasn't built in a day!  
Each day starts with sign in and job safety. There are meetings, protocols and procedures need to be followed for continued success.
Quality of trades, work and schedules to be met.
I guess the hardest part of a job is always something unexpected, when that happens you need to communicate this to your team. An RFI guidance with the architect/engineer  and client and proceed with a driven new plan.
The most enjoyable part of the day ? All of it!

They love to pretend the new people don't matter and make sure to always remind you of your place. Management will try to blame you for things you did not do and talk out of both sides of their mouth in order to remove all responsibility from themselves so that they can blame you when something goes wrong. Lastly they love to overload you with an unrealistic work load and then not understand why you won't work 12hr shifts everyday to keep up instead of going home to your family at a reasonable time.

A typical work day was on average 7am-5pm. It was a very bys day making sure we were on the schedule and the trades are doing the right thing. I learned how to build jobs, read drawings, manage subs/clients, and design teams. The hardest part was the stress of getting the job done and not making mistakes and sometimes having to deal with difficult subcontractors. The most enjoyable part of my job was looking back on the finished product and being proud of what i accomplished.

As a construction superintendent, you have to dedicate a lot of hours to your profession and it is  typically a 10 hour plus working day. It is a company full of managers and leaders so expectations are high but they also compensate well. They will provide you with the tools needed to succeed and as long as you are dedicated and focused on you job you will do ok. Plenty of managers and fellow PMs that will assist you but you have to speak up.

What is the best part of working at the company?
great people and communication on the job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I never feel stressed when I work for JRM.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

JRM believes in proper staffing and as a field Super that helps a lot. This is particularly helpful with the short schedules that the whole industry is used to now. They are always well prepared for interviews for new work and that lands them a lot of work Management is always willing to help on the difficult projects all in all it’s a really good company to work for
