My first job as an Electrician Foreman
Hello, I have just secured a job as an electrical foreman on an overseas
construction site. I have been an electrician for over 20 years and I am
happy with the skill level I have as an electrician. I can fit in pretty
well with any crew as an electrician and am a confident person in this role. I have also been a foreman on a temporary basis a few times before, filling in for the regular foreman.
I am due to start work as an electricians foreman next week and I was
wondering if someone could give me advice on how I should best deal with my new position and if they had some advice on how to be in charge of a 10 man crew of electricians. I believe that my boss will be supportive of me in my new role but he isn't aware of how little experience I have as a foreman.
I am quite nervous about how I am going to deal with the job in the most
professional manner that I can.
Technically I know the job but I might lack in man management skills.
Any good advice would be appreciated.
