Who you are.
.
You are passionate about general contracting, and you want to advance your construction career with company that provides empowered opportunities. You are an outstanding general contractor superintendent. You know how to lead construction projects by not over stacking the work, planning to milestones, smartly deconflicting resources, lining up near term work, informing teams, and then proactively driving sub-contractors. You are not a yeller. You are firm in resolve but know how to vary your communication style to get the most out of people. You build trust. You lead by frequently walking the job, inspecting the work quality, chatting with tradesmen, checking and promoting safety, understanding the work progress, and engaging the sub-contractors to be ready for their next work tasks. Due to your leadership, you have very few “bad sub-contractors” because they rise to your standards. You are a team player. You easily collaborate with the Project Manager, push and pull information with stakeholders, and professionally work with senior leadership.
.
You are an adept learner who can close the gap in preferred experience with deep knowledge in water and wastewater treatment facilities. If you don’t have that preferred background, then you have a talent for attention to detail with mechanical equipment and relative experience in one of the following: water and wastewater treatment plants/facilities, towers, tanks, pump stations, instrumentation, large HVAC, complex electrical, large equipment installation, heavy and large road or concrete work, etc. (or similar construction).
.
If this is you, or if this is mostly you and you have the goals, self-drive, humility, loyalty, and coachability to rise to this high standard, then you are the right fit for The Associated Construction Company. You can have an amazing journey here.
