Where can I get training to qualify for a Superintendent job?
In order to qualify for a superintendent's position I would first recommend deciding what kind of superintendent you want to be you can be one that has little to none experience and has 30 hours of OSHA training which gives you a little certificate and a couple of other little 8 hours certificates in supervision and you'd be ready or you can be the superintendent that youshould pride yourself to be if that's the case I would recommend at least 20 years of experience I've got 40 myself and I have run jobs up to 9 million dollars brought them in on time and safely .like I said you have to decide what kind of superintendent you want to be how was the one that worked with my guys and I never believed that I was any better than no man out there because I started from the bottom welding
complete your OSHA training and go in as a apprentice even if you know more you can learn new things by shadowing a seasond person and then you will move up the ladder very quickly
My career has developed through on the job experience for over 40 years. I recommend gaining at least 5 hrs experience in one of the MEP trades and taking online OSHA courses to obtain a 30 hr certification. Project management courses are offered at most community colleges
To qualify for a Superintendent job, consider online training courses through websites like LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, and Udemy. Jobcase also offers resources on upskilling and connecting with job opportunities. Look for specialized courses in construction management or related fields to enhance your skills and qualify for Superintendent positions. Good luck! #workfromhome
I like Thomas’ answer. I also have 40 in the business. Started sweeping floors in multi family projects in high school, while my friends were working at the mall during summer break. You didn’t mention your age or if you have construction experience. To fill a roll as a superintendent, it is necessary to know the field or discipline. Eg. if you are to run a project for an HVAC contractor, you would have to have extensive knowledge of heating, ventilation, and a/c. The knowledge of systems is only part of the prerequisite. You must be capable of managing people, the most difficult part of your duties. Scheduling your scope and scheduling around the other trades is a large part of being a superintendent. If your goal is to run entire projects as a superintendent for a developer, or a general contractor, you need to have knowledge of all of the components of the project, in addition to what I mentioned. There are classes at universities that offer construction management degrees. I have not been impressed by graduates I’ve met throughout my career. It’s a very small number out of all that graduate so take this with a grain. Good luck to you
