• Understand quality expectations and STOP any work that does not support the project's Quality Management Plan.
• Apply a working knowledge of building techniques, materials, basic functional design, and construction equipment.
• Use basic construction tools (hammers, hand tools, rulers, measuring devices, and engineering and architectural scales).
• Perform small carpentry tasks (hand/guard rails, temp doors, floor hole covers, wall blocking, basic hardware and toilet accessories).
• Perform small site tasks (dewatering footings, excavations and forms, debris cleanup, moving materials, and coordinating delivery and site logistics).
• Engage with the team in developing the project PMP.
• Review and understand the owner contract after beginning work, along with trade partner scopes, contracts, and boilerplates.
• Engage in morning huddles, team huddles, trade partner coordination, and owner meetings.
• Identify the source of a problem and find solutions using facts, data, and past knowledge.
• Work with the Superintendent to ensure all required project documentation is entered into Procore daily.
• Complete Samet University courses on their required dates, and use Samet University and Builders Building Builders to grow your construction knowledge.
• Conduct business professionally and ethically, minimizing risk to Samet, project owners, and trade partners.
