Project Manager
Summary
As are all employees at Wellen Construction a Project Manager (PM) is a highly valued employee – our expectation is to have GREAT Project Managers (PM’s) not good ones. The role of the PM is vital to the success of the project and in the long term the Company. Due to the nature of interaction with the Key Stakeholders for the Company the performance of the PM is seen as having a lasting effect on the Stakeholders confidence in the Company. PM’s are expected as are all employees to use the Mission and Vision Statement of the Company as a guiding principal. Their primary role is to obtain, retain, decipher and disseminate information regarding the construction of the project to the TEAM to ensure accuracy, quality, completion and timeliness. They partner with an OSCM in a project to determine the best means and methods available to the TEAM to complete the work required with the highest standards, meeting all expectations of the project timeline, within the preset budget, and in a safe manner. The Project Manager will specifically be responsible for the financial budget of the project, the schedule, job costing and the overall management of the Job. They are expected to conduct weekly Job Meetings to bring the Team together to specifically address all areas of the job. The overall success of each job is a direct measure of the PM’s job performance.
Skills/Traits Required at a High Level
Integrity: All Wellen Construction Employees are held to a high standard of values. Honesty and forthrightness are an absolute requirement for all employees of Wellen Construction not only because it will lead to overall success but because it is a cornerstone belief in whom we are. A team cannot function when its members cannot trust each other. The PM is a collaborator, partner, and comrade to all they work with and around. If they are unable to earn trust they cannot function at the required level. Integrity is seen in everything one does – from the smallest exchange of information to one’s core values. Integrity, honest and truthfulness are not seen on any kind of scale but rather measured in absolute – it is either something you have or you do not have – it is not something that comes and goes!
Self-Motivation/Self Starter: Wellen Construction is a team and functions as such. Individuals are expected to participate and operate in a team atmosphere and manner. With that being said individuals are also expected to be motivated from within. The PM is not expected to need high levels of supervision or oversight. They need to be able to be self-starters and find motivation from doing a “great” job. While collaboration, participation and sharing are useful and expected methods – being able to lead, communicate, supervise and manage need to be done without direction and or direct oversight – “needs hand holding” is clearly not an expected description.
Organization: The PM is responsible for budgeting, scheduling, job costing and overall management of the Job – each of these are expect to be clear, neat and organized. Organization skills are difficult to describe in anything but concept. The PM needs to perform with a high degree of organizational skill and aptitude. The ability to record, organize and disseminate tractable communication is necessary at the highest level.
Leadership: PM’s need to have a great command of leadership skills. They need to be able to demonstrate confidence in their own abilities and in their agenda. Leading by example is a time proven success and it is expected that PM’s will use this method at all times. They are expected to hold weekly job meetings with their TEAM and set a clear agenda for this meeting and conduct it with authority.
Collaborator: Any position that works within the frame work of a Team is a collaborator by nature. A PM at Wellen Construction comes into contact with and works with many if not all of our key stake holders. The need to be able to collaborate and synergize with these stake holders is high. The ability understand priority and help different groups understand what the true priority is in any situation is key – then serving as a key component to reaching the common goal.
Communicator: In order to be a collaborator communication is key – this is a highly valued and required trait – in all forms – written, verbal and non-verbal. Communication is not only projection but is also reception (talking and listening) both forms are equally valued. A PM’s clear ability to gather information, organize it, retain it, disseminate it and then confirm that it is clearly understood is paramount to their success. Communication in all forms is seen a necessary to be successful at this.

Assistant Project Manager
Summary
As are all employees at Wellen Construction an Assistant Project Manager (APM) is a highly valued employee – our expectation is to have GREAT Assistant Project Managers (PM’s) not good ones. APM’s support their PM’s in accomplishing the overall goals and objectives the PM’s have in accomplishing the Project.

On Site Construction Manager
Overview
An On Site Construction Manager (OSCM) is a valued team member at Wellen Construction – our expectation is to have GREAT On Site Construction Managers not good ones. The role of the OSCM is seen as critical to the long-term success of our company as this position is generally a primary contact for the strategic partners and Wellen Construction. The performance of the OSCM not only effects the short-term success in terms of daily accomplishments but it also greatly affects the long-term success in that their work is usually the most likely way that our strategic partners form an opinion on our abilities. Like all employees at Wellen Construction they are expected to use our mission statement and vision as guiding principles. Their primary role is to oversee the physical construction of a home while being the primary onsite leader and job site control for Wellen Construction. They partner with a project manager to confer and collaborate on the best means and methods available to the team to complete the work required with the highest quality standards, meeting all expectations of the project timeline, within the approved working budget, and in a safe manner. The implementation of the work and its daily progress shall be under the direct supervision and control of the OSCM. The OSCM is directly responsible for the cleanliness and safety of a job site which is a high priority at Wellen Construction. The OSCM is the direct supervisor of all Wellen Construction employees on a job site. The OSCM, also participates at a high level in budgeting, scheduling, job costing, and general management of the construction project both prior to its start and during construction. The quality and outcome of each job is a direct measure of the Team’s job performance and is certainly greatly affected by the OSCM.
Skills/Traits Required at a High Level
Integrity: All Wellen Construction Employees are held to a high standard of values. Honesty and forthrightness are an absolute requirement for all employees of Wellen Construction not only because it will lead to overall success but because it is a cornerstone belief in who we are. A team cannot function when its members cannot trust each other. An OSCM is a collaborator and partner to all they work with and around. If they are unable to earn confidence they cannot function at the required level. Integrity is seen in everything one does – from the smallest exchange of information to one’s core values. Integrity, honest and truthfulness are not seen on any kind of scale but rather measured in absolute – it is either something you have or you do not have – it is not something that comes and goes!
Self-Motivation/Self Starter: Wellen Construction is a team and functions as such. Individuals are expected to participate and operate in a team atmosphere and manner. With that being said individuals are also expected to be motivated from within. OSCM’s are not expected to need high levels of supervision or oversight. They need to be able to be self-starters and find motivation from doing a “great” job. While collaboration, participation and sharing are useful and expected methods – being able to lead, communicate, supervise and manage need to be done without direction and or direct oversight – “needs hand holding” is clearly not an expected description.
Communication: In order to be a collaborator communication is key – this is a highly valued and required trait – in all forms – written, verbal and non-verbal. Communication is not only projection but is also reception (talking and listening!); both forms are equally valued.
Organization: Home Construction in and of itself is a complex task and needs a high degree of organization to be successful. High-end single-family home construction and renovations DEMAND organization to be successful. The ability to keep one’s own work organized while also assisting to keep the job site, material and other collaborators organized is paramount. Skills in recording, retaining and disseminating information on a daily basis are not only required but required at a very high level.
Construction Supervision: The primary role of the OSCM is overseeing the construction of a home – they must be highly adept in all phases of construction. OSCMs must be on site to open and close the job site. OSCMS must also be on site throughout the day because this position requires that the OSCM have very close and continuous oversight of the job site and construction activity, and manage the work being done and the progress being made. An OSCM must be available off hours and on weekends (both via phone and in person), in part, because work is often done during the weekends and off hours; and OSCMs must be available to respond to and address situations that arise on the job site. It is not expected that we “work” each weekend but need to be available if something arises. Being available during the work day, off hours and during the weekend is a critical component of this role. It is not expected that they can perform all aspects of construction but they must know them at a high level. It is expected that the OSCM will spend a fair amount of time checking all work for accuracy, quality, on-site material management, completeness and safety. The OSCM is expected to serve as a collaborating facilitator for all trades so that they can co-exist in harmony and eliminate job site conflicts. The OSCM is solely responsible for quality control, construction accuracy, job site cleanliness, safety and overall job site control.
Continuous Learner: While the very basic principals of construction management are everlasting and hold true in perpetuity – integrity, accuracy, diligence, follow through, quality etc. Technical details are ever evolving and changing. The concept of continual learning is important to an individual’s growth and development. The ability and desire to keep up with the latest ideas, concepts, trends and technical data is vital to holding one’s place within the industry. This would not only happen through direct teaching, training and development but also through an individual’s inquisitive side – staying up to date with recent publications and constantly being inquisitive of new and evolving concepts they come across. Staying in step with the latest technology that allows for greater synergy and expanded effectiveness is also vital. This is both in one’s ability to continuously learn as well as one’s desire – each are equally important.
Time Management: Delivering a great project “on time” is one of the hallmarks of a great construction company. Time Management is not just highly valued it is required. OSCM’s are expected to be able to create, manage and edit accurate construction schedules before and during construction. The schedule includes not only management of the work flow and process; but also, the information required from our strategic partners (owner’s, architects, decorators) necessary to complete the project.
Collaborator: A high-end single-family home job site is a complex place. Construction is being performed at a high level under tight timelines, with typical budget constraints by individual contractors coming together as a team. While the expectation is that the sum of the parts will act as whole – from time-to-time individual trades and trades people will be motivated by their own interests independent of the TEAM goals. In many situations an OSCM needs to serve as a collaborator bringing many different parties together to see the value of the common goal and convincing them to participate in meaningful ways that help serve the best interests of the Job. The OSCM needs not only to have the skills to facilitate this but also needs the skills to see these goals and be able to find the best alternatives available to everyone so that they can achieve the desired goal. Collaboration will also be a cornerstone of the relationship between the OSCM and the Project Manager – they will be expected to work together in harmony to determine the best practices, methods and means to achieve the desired goals of each job.
Other Skills/Traits Required
- Valid Massachusetts Construction Supervisors Licenses
- Valid Massachusetts Driver’s License
- Cleanliness – personal appearance, job site trailer, company vehicles, overall jobsite – is highly required – the skills to achieve this whatever they are – are necessary
- Use of computer, E-Mail and hand-held communication devices
- Use of Microsoft Products – Excel, Project and Word at a Minimum

Honesty and forthrightness are an absolute requirement for all employees of Wellen Construction not only because it will lead to overall success but because it is a cornerstone belief in who we are. A team cannot function when its members cannot trust each other. An OSCM is a collaborator and partner to all they work with and around. If they are unable to earn confidence they cannot function at the required level. Integrity is seen in everything one does – from the smallest exchange of information to one’s core values. Integrity, honest and truthfulness are not seen on any kind of scale but rather measured in absolute – it is either something you have or you do not have – it is not something that comes and goes!
Self-Motivation/Self Starter: Wellen Construction is a team and functions as such. Individuals are expected to participate and operate in a team atmosphere and manner. With that being said individuals are also expected to be motivated from within. OSCM’s are not expected to need high levels of supervision or oversight. They need to be able to be self-starters and find motivation from doing a “great” job. While collaboration, participation and sharing are useful and expected methods – being able to lead, communicate, supervise and manage need to be done without direction and or direct oversight – “needs hand holding” is clearly not an expected description.
Communication: In order to be a collaborator communication is key – this is a highly valued and required trait – in all forms – written, verbal and non-verbal. Communication is not only projection but is also reception (talking and listening!); both forms are equally valued.
Organization: Home Construction in and of itself is a complex task and needs a high degree of organization to be successful. High-end single-family home construction and renovations DEMAND organization to be successful. The ability to keep one’s own work organized while also assisting to keep the job site, material and other collaborators organized is paramount. Skills in recording, retaining and disseminating information on a daily basis are not only required but required at a very high level.
Construction Supervision: The primary role of the OSCM is overseeing the construction of a home – they must be highly adept in all phases of construction. OSCMs must be on site to open and close the job site. OSCMS must also be on site throughout the day because this position requires that the OSCM have very close and continuous oversight of the job site and construction activity, and manage the work being done and the progress being made. An OSCM must be available off hours and on weekends (both via phone and in person), in part, because work is often done during the weekends and off hours; and OSCMs must be available to respond to and address situations that arise on the job site. It is not expected that we “work” each weekend but need to be available if something arises. Being available during the work day, off hours and during the weekend is a critical component of this role. It is not expected that they can perform all aspects of construction but they must know them at a high level. It is expected that the OSCM will spend a fair amount of time checking all work for accuracy, quality, on-site material management, completeness and safety. The OSCM is expected to serve as a collaborating facilitator for all trades so that they can co-exist in harmony and eliminate job site conflicts. The OSCM is solely responsible for quality control, construction accuracy, job site cleanliness, safety and overall job site control.
Continuous Learner: While the very basic principals of construction management are everlasting and hold true in perpetuity – integrity, accuracy, diligence, follow through, quality etc. Technical details are ever evolving and changing. The concept of continual learning is important to an individual’s growth and development. The ability and desire to keep up with the latest ideas, concepts, trends and technical data is vital to holding one’s place within the industry. This would not only happen through direct teaching, training and development but also through an individual’s inquisitive side – staying up to date with recent publications and constantly being inquisitive of new and evolving concepts they come across. Staying in step with the latest technology that allows for greater synergy and expanded effectiveness is also vital. This is both in one’s ability to continuously learn as well as one’s desire – each are equally important.
Time Management: Delivering a great project “on time” is one of the hallmarks of a great construction company. Time Management is not just highly valued it is required. OSCM’s are expected to be able to create, manage and edit accurate construction schedules before and during construction. The schedule includes not only management of the work flow and process; but also, the information required from our strategic partners (owner’s, architects, decorators) necessary to complete the project.
Collaborator: A high-end single-family home job site is a complex place. Construction is being performed at a high level under tight timelines, with typical budget constraints by individual contractors coming together as a team. While the expectation is that the sum of the parts will act as whole – from time-to-time individual trades and trades people will be motivated by their own interests independent of the TEAM goals. In many situations an OSCM needs to serve as a collaborator bringing many different parties together to see the value of the common goal and convincing them to participate in meaningful ways that help serve the best interests of the Job. The OSCM needs not only to have the skills to facilitate this but also needs the skills to see these goals and be able to find the best alternatives available to everyone so that they can achieve the desired goal. Collaboration will also be a cornerstone of the relationship between the OSCM and the Project Manager – they will be expected to work together in harmony to determine the best practices, methods and means to achieve the desired goals of each job.
