  Carpenter

  My job consisted of basic carpentry tasks including steel stud framing (layout, measure/cut, assemble), forming for concrete, pouring concrete (help with pour, screed, and float). I was also very involved with various kinds of demolition, mostly interior walls, CMU wall's and concrete. I completed window, door, and casework installation. I placed a lot of insulation (faced fiberglass bats). Drywall installation was something that was required of me depending on the job specifications (measure/cut, install, and some finishing but was not normally required of me).Equipment operation - Skid Loader, fork truck, scissor lift, truck and trailer, various power tools, 60 lbs. jack hammer, concrete saw, MIG welder.

In addition to my in-field supervision responsibilities, I was responsible for documenting all field work via hourly logs and progress photos. I also assisted our team in producing daily and monthly reports outlining the work that had been completed in correlation to the amount of time that had passed. In conjunction with the aforementioned responsibilities, I also played a role in tracking and documenting each property's progress through the permit process. Show less I worked with the Senior and Assistant Project Managers on the Cedar Rapids Convention Center, U.S. Cellular Arena, and Double Tree by Hilton Hotel project helping with communications between us, the contractors, architects, and engineers. I updated the construction documents by implementing supplemental drawings associated with RFI's and ITC's. I also helped document the construction process by performing site walks and capturing photos of various aspects of the work such as demolition, masonry, site work, MEP, steel erection, building envelope, interior finishes, and other various building elements. I organized project specific documentation, such as submittals, which I filed according to the numerous CSI divisions. Another facet of the process that I was responsible for was creating transmittals for material samples (masonry, tile, exterior finish, paint samples, glass, carpet, grout, metal cladding, etc.) and delivering the samples to the necessary parties.
