Assistant Superintendent

The Assistant Superintendent role is primarily responsible for the successful execution of site-specific related activities required for a successful project completion. These tasks include a range of duties including scheduling, forecasting, budgeting, scope creation and management, and inventory management. Everyone at The Garrett Companies is a “broom pusher” and we expect all staff to have an “all hands-on deck” approach to making things better, fixing problems, and assisting when and if necessary.

It is expected that an Assistant Superintendent actively walks the site, understands daily activities, and is observant of all active subcontractors, visitors, and material deliveries. All related office and reporting duties required for success and organization are expected.

This position works in unison with the site field team and reports directly to the Site Superintendent. All site teams work closely with the Project Engineer and Project Manager. This team is in constant contact and are working to actively manage the project until completion. It is understood that the Assistant Superintendent has the full resources and support of The Garrett Companies and that we see this position as an extension of our entire team and office(s). With that in mind, this position must use best judgment and discretion in decisions and professionalism. We view an active construction site the same as our headquarters office – and expect this mentality from the entire field team.

It is the intent of this position to allow for the growth of the employee to eventually be promoted to a Site Superintendent or other construction related position within the Garrett Construction. All site related positions are tied specifically to a singular site (unless otherwise noted in an offer of employment letter). Field position historically move from site to site with our company.
