As an Assistant Super I check all these boxes. Unfortunately, my Super is not active in keeping the schedule and strategic planning. I am studying lean construction and have used pull plan meetings for duration and sequence, but the PM takes those and shaves days/ stacks work on top of each other. Delayed RFI's, ownership not approving material and change orders... you name it. This job is a nightmare. I'm hoping to stick with it and implement your concepts where I can.
Hey Jason! Thank you for your videos they are great references. I’ve also read your book, Elevating Construction Superintendents and I have learned a lot! I have 20 years of construction experience. I started as a laborer apprentice and worked my way up to lead Fraco scaffold installer for the largest masonry contractor in the PNW. I have no room to move up where I am at and I am considering relocating to the Phoenix metro area. I feel like with my experience on every type of structure, from high rise, manufacturing, to waste water I would be a great candidate for an assistant superintendent role. I have great presence in the field and a feel for clean safe and organized job sites. I also coordinate deliveries very well. My whole career has been in the PNW, in your opinion what does it take to be considered for an assistant superintendent role in a market that has no idea who you are and only can judge by what is written on a resume and letters of recommendation?
I like your way of schooling! Thank you for the accurate information! Now that I understand better the difference between an assistant and a field engineer, I realise I'm doing both right now. Is there an effective way for me to balance both? We are looking for occupancy in 3 months, so it would be for a short-term "blitz" 😅
Hi Jason, I’ve been enjoying everything I’ve been learning and I’m trying to transition from an engineering tech into more of the construction side. I started as a Civil draftsman, then designer and learned surveying to complete As-Builts, then plan reviewer, and now an engineering tech for a Water District. After 20 years, I’m finishing my CM degree and want to shoot for an assistant super position. Is this possible without having been in the trades.
Hey there! I am a project engineer 1 but transitioning to assistant super kinda nervous of the change but I feel like the office side is not for me any advice? I will be starting my first project as an assistant super in a month!
Jason thank you for these helpful videos. My name is Kevin & I have a great opportunity to become an assistant super . I have been a journeyman carpenter w/ local 909 and a good friend is going to help get my foot in the door with JRM Construction ( he is a superintendent @JRM). What should I be doing to prep for the interviews , I’m asking because I am excited but nervous
I have an interview tomorrow, 7/1/24, for a assistant super for a Fortune 500 company. I've been in construction for 20 years, I know, application and detail. All the interests of this roll are just a bit nerve-racking for such a high-end company.

I would say write down everything you must do that adds the most value and stick to it.
