Prepare the list of roles and responsibilities of various personnel in any
Private Construction organization.

1. C-Level Executives On A Construction Project

C-level positions are in charge of the big picture at a contracting company. They consider
questions like:
 How much work does our company have this year (in dollars)? How about next year?
 How can we lower our operating costs to increase profit and be more competitive?
 What mistakes have we been making as a company that we need to fix?
 Should we hire more people? Move offices? Purchase equipment? Take on new types of
projects?

2. Project Executive / Senior Project Manager Responsibilities

The Project Executive, also known as a Senior Project Manager, is usually the highest non C-
level position on a project. This is a person who has worked as a Project Manager for many
years, and thus has the experience to monitor all parts of a construction project – including the
big picture. A Project Executive’s years of experience vary – it’s more about how many projects
they’ve overseen from start to finish. A Project Executive or Senior Project Manager has
overseen 5-10 projects before they’re seen as “senior”. As such, Project Executives or Senior
Project Managers typically have 15-20 years of experience working in the P.M. capacity before
getting that “Senior” added in there.

3. Construction Project Manager

Here are just a few of the areas a Project Manager oversees on a regular basis,
mostly in the office:
 Meeting the schedule and organizing the resources needed to do so.
 Monitoring the project budget and billing the client for work completed.
 Developing working sets of drawings and designs.
 Monitoring the scope of work and any changes or additions to it. In turn,
managing change orders.
 Working with the Client and Owner’s Representatives to exchange information, get
approvals and meet project requirements.
 Co-develop a job site safety plan and policy.
 Purchasing materials, equipment and hiring consultants.
 Oversee document control.
Construction Project Managers typically have 7-10 years of experience in the industry
as an Assistant P.M. or similar. They’re worked on every phase of a project at least once and
have worked for a Project Manager to learn the trade.

4. Construction Superintendent
 Ensuring job site is safe and all work is being performed correctly.
 Monitoring job site quality requirements.
 Tracking daily activities against the project schedule.
 Documenting unknowns or unexpected delays.
 Making sure design details are built properly.
 Determining means, methods and constructability.
 Overseeing field workers and onsite subcontractors.
 Hiring and firing field crews as needed.

5. Role Of Assistant Project Manager

Assistant Project Managers are essentially Project Managers in-training.
They’re working towards becoming a P.M., but must first learn all of the various responsibilities
a Project Manager has, as well as observe the P.M. carry out their duties.
Essentially, Assistant Project Managers have the same responsibilities as the Project Manager.

6. Project Administrator Responsibilities

Here are a few typical responsibilities of a construction Project Administrator:
 Tracking payroll for field crews.
 Setting up / On-boarding new field workers.
 Maintaining compliance with Federal, State and Local requirements.
 Filing all key project documents.
 Tracking the payment of vendors, subcontractors and consultants.
In some cases, Administrators also handle the exchange of submittals, RFIs and other key
documents, too.
7. Role Of General Foreman
The General Foreman is usually the highest ranking working position on a job site. By working
position, I mean that they’re involved directly with the performance of the work. They typically
work as an hourly employee like the rest of the field crews, but have a higher pay and more
responsibilities.
The General Foreman reports directly to the Superintendent. They’re in charge of bringing the
project to life on a moment-to-moment level. These Foreman oversee all other trade-specific
foremen, along with all of the workers onsite. They’re in charge of making sure everyone shows
up on time, is working safely and performing what they should be.

8. Responsibilities Of Field Engineer / Site Clerk

Here are a few examples of what a Field Engineer is responsible for:
 Tracking daily productivity of the crews and comparing this rate to the budget and
schedule.
 Producing basic reports and status updates.
 Taking progress photos and noting daily activity.
 Ordering and coordinating the delivery of materials, equipment and supplies as needed.
 Taking basic measurements, doing rough surveying and laying out as required.
 Handling the logistics of getting drawings printed, jobsite-office juggling and keeping
physical copies of contract documents, project specs, etc. organized.
 Doing whatever anyone above them tells them to!

9. Role Of Trade Foreman

Last but not least on our list of construction project team role is the Trade Foreman.
As you can imagine, the Trade Foreman is a foreman that’s in charge of a crew performing a
specific task. Also known as a “gang foreman” or “working foreman“, the Trade Foreman is a
worker with at least 4-5 years experience performing a specific type of work.
Due to this, they’re very much involved in the moment-by-moment details of that specific type
of work, making sure the actual construction happens correctly in real time, and raising any
concerns as soon as they arise.

EXPERIMENT NO: 12 Date:-
Study different labor laws applicable for construction project
and prepare a report.
 The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
Ensures that minimum wage and overtime pay standards are followed for young and old workers as well as
immigrants. This rule applies to all construction businesses with more than two employees.
 The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act)
A feeling of security is a fundamental right, and this OSH Act helps ensure that construction businesses
cultivate a safe workplace for their employees. OSHA, as it is popularly referred to, applies to all construction
businesses with one or more employees.
 The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)
It allows employees to unionize and engage in collective bargaining and allows for a conducive environment for
employees to seek better working conditions and make a representation without fear of retaliation. The NLRA
applies to all construction businesses with two or more employees.
 The OSHA Hazard Communication Standards
Requires an employer to provide information about workplace risks and the preventive measures to be taken;
this includes classification and labeling of chemicals. Employees have the right to know about any dangerous
chemicals in the construction sites. They must be aware of the imminent dangers posed by equipment and the
health risks associated with working at a construction site.
 The Davis-Bacon Act
Requires payment of prevailing wages on federally funded or assisted construction projects. This act establishes
the requirement to pay workers the local prevailing wages on public works projects and applies to both
contractors and sub-contractors working on construction projects
 Child Labor Law
Federal child labor provisions are authorized under the umbrella of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938
(FLSA), also known as the child labor laws. There are restrictions; though 14 and 15-year-olds are allowed to
perform office and sales tasks for a construction company, these minors are not to be employed on the
construction site;.
 The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA)
This act especially applies to the construction business since it was common for many immigrants to join the
construction workforce. The IRCA prohibits employers from knowingly hiring, recruiting, or referring anyone
who is unauthorized to work in the United States.
 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
This act allows eligible employees to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons
with the continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the
employee had not taken leave.

Construction Worker Rights

 If an employee believes their employer violates OSHA regulations, they may request an OSHA
inspection of the workplace to check for standards violations and hazardous conditions
 If a signed written complaint is raised, the employee’s name can be withheld from the employer
 Employees have the right to protection against discrimination and retaliation for filing an OSHA
complaint
 Employees can request access to the results of workplace hazard testing
 Employees can request to review records related to any workplace injuries, illnesses, medical and
exposure records
 Employees have the right to view an employer’s requirements, rules, standards, and regulations at the
workplace
