Positions summary for the PM Ag Facilities Construction:
Under the general direction of the President the primary responsibilities of the Project Manager (PM) are to have overall responsibility of projects which include organizing, planning, scheduling and controlling the fieldwork and be responsible for getting the projects completed within the time and cost limitations.
The PM attends to change orders, project budgets, records, payment requests, progress schedules, shop drawings, and samples and acts as the principal liaison between the contractor and the owner and its representatives. The PM provides a focal point for all facets of the project and brings together the efforts of those organizations having input into the construction process.
The PM coordinates matters relevant to the project and expedites project operations by dealing directly with the individuals and organizations involved. In any such situation where events progress rapidly and decisions must be consistent and informed, the specific leadership of one person is needed.
