"I have been working as a Construction Project Manager for over 15 years now and, although the tasks I perform can have a wide range, there are a few responsibilities which are at the core of what I do. These tasks include overseeing construction projects from beginning to end while estimating costs and managing the budget. As a Construction PM, I carefully track inventory, materials, tools equipment, and working hours. I regularly craft and submit reports on the projects' status while communicating with key stakeholders. Another large part of my role is to ensure compliance with safety regulations and building codes and gain the right permits. I provide clear communication with subcontractors, engineers, architects, and key team members of the project team while also negotiating with vendors to gain the best possible pricing on supplies and materials. Much of what I do is around communicating expectations and progress."
