Productive Workforce
Office Administrator Intern (Former Employee), Providence, RI – January 8, 2013
Pros: productivity, amusing, lunch, building friendships & character
Gilbane as my first job was a challenge. I wasn't sure what to expect or how I would adapt to the company. As a construction company I wasn't sure I'd actually fit into their daily routine, but as a company they helped me understand the many tasks performed and who to contact in the event something went wrong. As an intern my first project was to coordinate – more... The Annual Golf Tournament. It took countless hours of preparation, meetings, understanding and contacting companies who would be joining us at our event. I also performed general office duties such as printing, labels/labeling, making outlines, preparation for Gilbane University classes etc. I learned the many preparations for various job-sites and contacting subs and preparing contracts and proposals to attract other companies. I also had experience in the Marketing & Sales Management Services. The branding of a company isn't always easy and its just as important as the hard work the company provides for the public. I worked with an extremely supportive group of individuals. They were open to my ideas as a young adult and they gave me a lot of responsibility in which they held me accountable for any mistakes and helped me to correct them. Overall, it was an amazing experience, took a lot of time management, team work, hard work and intelligence. I don't regret not one moment of it, at each moment I learned something new. – less

Productive Good Team Atmoshper
Assistant Superintendent (Former Employee), Boston, MA – October 1, 2012
I enjoyed everyday on Gilbane Jobs. I had the privilege of being able to work on three different jobs during one co-op term for Gilbane and it was without a doubt the most I learned from a co-op. I did things from handling CORI forms to Submitting Documents of IBuild.

I cant really describe a typical day because everyday I was doing something different, – more... there wasn't really a daily routine. I enjoyed this type of atmosphere because it always kept me on my toes. – less

Just because a boss can manage a project, that has nothing to do with whether they can manage people. Word to the wise.
