A playbook for success* in construction leadership.
About John Williams
My Certifications
My resume shows off a bunch of certifications that really prove my dedication to safety and skill in all kinds of workplaces. Having an OSHA 30 certification means I know my stuff when it comes to keeping workplaces safe and managing risks proactively. With First Aid certification, I can jump in and help out in emergencies, making sure everyone stays safe and sound. I've also got specialized training in Bloodborne Pathogens, so I'm super careful when handling any hazardous materials to keep everyone healthy. Plus, my Rigging certification means I can handle heavy loads like a pro, keeping things running smoothly and safely. And with my 3G welding certification, you can trust me to deliver top-notch welding results every time. Oh, and I'm also certified to operate a telehandler (FORKLIFT CERTIFIED!), making sure everything moves along smoothly.
My Skills
I've got a bunch of skills that make me a real asset in construction. When it comes to structural ironwork, I'm on top of it—I handle complex projects with precision and make sure everything's solid and safe. If there's a problem, I'm quick to figure it out and come up with a solution that keeps things moving smoothly and doesn't blow the budget. As a crew manager, I know how to keep the team working together and getting stuff done, all while sticking to schedules and specs. With my leadership style, I prioritize bringing out the best in my team. I firmly believe that good leaders act as coaches and support staff first and foremost.
My Experience
So, as a foreman, I was all about keeping things running smoothly on-site. I made sure the construction crew was on track with their daily tasks, paying close attention to every detail to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. Then, as a superintendent, I took on even more responsibility, making sure the whole project was coordinated and on point. Whether I'm in the foreman's boots or the superintendent's hat, my goal is always the same: delivering top-notch results and leading the team to success in the construction world.
