Thomas Rankin

The company was founded on the business plan to help smaller construction businesses with large projects. P.M.S. also provides Site Supervisors (commercial and residential), Project Managers, and Site Inspectors for pre-inspection inspections to ensure an easy flow of job progression.

My job was to make sure that day-to-day operations ran smoothly. I am responsible for crew scheduling, job scheduling, and personnel. My tasks were to visit job sites and ensure all safety procedures are adhered to. I implemented a reward/penalty safety procedure for staff, which really improved compliance.

Reason for leaving: wanting to lessen my load of responsibilities and diversity of tasks. I would like to concentrate my skill sets to best suit my next employer's needs.

I took care of all the day-to-day activities in conjunction with the owner. My duties were to schedule crews, as well as any subcontractors. I also did material take-offs and ordering to ensure timely delivery. The client had my number, and I would problem-solve any issues they may have in a timely manner. I went to all job sites on a daily basis to ensure cleanliness, quality work, and safety procedures were enforced. I was also in charge of hiring and firing employees as warranted. I started as Site Supervisor on 2/05, then worked my way up to Director of Operations.
