Great insight

It's Monday morning and Paula just got hired to be an assistant project manager with a midsized general contractor. It was her first job out of college and she's eager to make an impact in the industry one project at a time. After the first week, Paula had finally completed her onboarding paperwork, was setup with her laptop and already receiving emails on tasks she could help with. "Review Electrical submittals against the specifications? Re-word an RFI about page C02.02 for a drain?" I don't know how to do that she thought. "Hey Amanda, would you be able to show me how to put together a submittal cover page and review electrical submittals against the specs?" "I'm sorry Paula, I have a meeting onsite I have to go to in 20 minutes and prepare forecasts for 4 projects by Friday." I won't be able to help until next week. This is a common scenario every new hire goes through in the industry. You can feel the 5 days of anxiety and frustration building for Paula as she wants to make a good first impression at her new job she went to college for 4 years to do. I've seen this play out from small companies to large corporate companies. I got frustrated how the first 6 months of a new hires career were typically spent waiting around for explanations. I decided to create a curated program to help teach the fundamentals of project management in an online, go at your own pace course. There are 2 hours of dedicated videos over 7 modules with real scenarios to help your team understand the tasks and complete with minimal assistance. I'm so confident your new hires will be productive within 3 weeks, if they aren't, I'll take your word for it and give you your money back immediately. Want to accelerate your teams learning?

Perspective................... This is very underrated. When in the #construction market seeking a new role, putting things into perspective are key. "I have been a No1, I have delivered #industrial projects!" Dissecting that statement is critical, as from face value that looks like a PM for an #industrial project. What's important is now understanding: 📍Value of the project? 📍Did you lead the project from start to finish? 📍How many were you handling on site? 📍Did the project make money? These are ultimately all factors, that can be you underselling yourself............ At the same time you maybe putting yourself in a situation where you aren't able to be successful in a role. So, when applying for any #construction role always put the opportunity in the perspective, in relation to your experience. #insight #perspective #constructionindustry #nsrassociates

Starting a project can be challenging for anyone. I also find it difficult to complete a project if there’s no sense of urgency or push factor. However, I enjoy being involved in projects, solving problems, and making improvements. Here are some key points to ensure project completion: 1. Identify the Objective and Urgency: Clearly define the project’s objectives and establish a sense of urgency. Be prepared to adapt to any changes that may arise. 2. Collect Data and Plan: Gather relevant data, create a detailed plan, and prepare a checklist to guide your project. 3. Set Time Limits: Establish deadlines for various stages of the project to maintain momentum and ensure timely completion. 4. Set Goals and Conduct Site Visits: Define specific goals for the project and conduct site visits to identify areas for improvement. By focusing on these aspects, you can create a push factor that drives you to complete your projects effectively. #project #engineering

Hi there, Let’s discuss about Project handover criteria , it is important because Happy ending is necessary for any task 😁 💥 Project Handover Criteria Being a Project engineer your Project handover criteria should have clear and measurable standards that determine when project deliverables are ready for transfer to the client or end-user. These criteria, agreed upon at the project's start, cover technical, functional, safety, legal, and other aspects. 💥 Why it is important? Firstly, they offer a transparent and unbiased way to assess project performance and address any shortcomings prior to handover. Secondly, they encourage communication and cooperation between the project team and stakeholders, ensuring alignment of expectations. 💥 How to set clear/measurable criteria? Being a project engineer scrutinising the project's scope, objectives, and deliverables, alongside engaging with the client or end-user to grasp their requirements. Our criteria must adhere to the SMART principle: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. 💥 Challenges to avoid ? Being a project engineer you should Engage the client or end-user early in defining and agreeing upon these criteria, ensuring alignment with project scope, objectives, and deliverables. Document and communicate the criteria clearly, adhering rigorously to them throughout the project lifecycle. 💥 How to improve this skill ? Feedback and guidance from peers, mentors, or industry experts to refine your approach further. You can use tools and templates to articulate your project handover criteria efficiently, while also monitoring and reporting on project deliverables and handover progress. #projectengineer #pmp #mechanicalengineer #projectmanagment #handover

🚧Master The Art of Standing Out🚧 As an entry-level engineer, you’re stepping into a world where versatility is key. Often, you’ll feel like a "jack of all trades, master of none"—and that’s completely normal, especially in construction management. Your role is to orchestrate the many different trades and teams working on your project, whether it’s a building, a bridge, a road, or even repair works. In the end, your goal is to ensure that every element comes together to deliver the final product on time and within scope. But how do you thrive in such a complex environment and still stand out? First, embrace the fact that you can’t master everything. Instead, choose to be passionate about a particular aspect of your work. Find something within construction management that excites you, whether it’s project planning, safety, innovation, or sustainability. Once you find that spark, commit to continuous learning and unlearning. Stay curious. Seek out new knowledge, and don’t be afraid to challenge outdated methods. The most successful professionals I’ve encountered didn’t become exceptional by accident. They developed their uniqueness—a personal edge. It’s not something you learn in school; it’s something you gain through experience, meaningful interactions, and a genuine curiosity in the field. In today’s world, where information is more accessible than ever, anyone can learn what you know. What will set you apart is your ability to fine-tune and amplify your own strengths and insights. That’s the art of standing out. And that’s what I’ve come to master over time. If you’re ready, I’m excited to share how I approach it every day—and help you carve your own path to success. 🚧🦺👷🏾♂️ #Constructmanagement #uniqueness #isthenewstyle
