Spent 2 months in the field with EMJ Construction at the construction of the new TVA Operations Center in Georgetown, TN
Was able to learn under the superintendent and assistant superintendent and understand what their jobs entail each day
It was an extremely complex job in the sense that EMJ was only the GC over the finishes and there was another GC in charge of everything else
What this led to was a lot of miscommunication and sequencing error on site
Due to experience on the site I was able to see first-hand the importance of intentional communication, scheduling and documentation
Primarily dealt with only Masonry and Metal Framing subcontractors all summer which led to a more comprehensive understanding of these scopes.
