ABC Minnesota/North Dakota Chapter, and training partner FMI, will be providing a two-day professional development course for Construction Supervisors.

Class Schedule:

Day 2 - 8:00 - 11:30, lunch to follow wrap-up

Construction company executives know that profitability is made – or lost – in the field. The energy, efficiency and effectiveness of front-line field supervisors to optimize the job site, motivate their crews and facilitate collaboration with project staff depends on a high level of collaboration between the office and the field.

Best-in-class contractors increasingly expect their field supervisors to not just drive production and solve technical problems, but to do so in a manner that protects the company’s best interests. For this to happen, both the office and the field must have a keen understanding regarding the health of projects, and how to provide a high level of customer service whilst managing the inherent risk of projects. ABC’s supervisor training focuses on the practices that accomplish these objectives.

Top 5 reasons to send your field supervisors and project managers:

Improve at all levels of planning – including both before mobilization (pre-job planning) and during construction (short-interval planning).
Improve staff communication to better manage resources, track production and reduce risk
Improve pre-job preparation and job closeout management
