Construction Field Supervision

The Construction Field Supervision program at South Central College was developed to address the increasing demand for competent construction managers and field supervisors in the construction industry. This program prepares highly motivated individuals for a professional career that requires critical thinking, leadership and management skills.

SCC's Construction Field Supervision program is a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree that prepares students for entry level positions in project supervision careers. Students learn material technology, project scheduling, construction documentation, estimating, cost management, communication, and leadership and management skills.

Field superintendents manage the construction of a project at the site. Their responsibilities include project implementation, project scheduling, safety management, client interaction, cost controls, subcontractor management and performance, work schedule creation, site staffing, and functional oversight of project performance through contract completion. Field supervisors also prepare progress reports, make recommendations on ways to improve work methods, meet with construction managers to discuss problems and solutions, and work with employees to improve performance.
