PROJECT MANAGER
A project manager is a person who has the overall responsibility for the successful initiation, planning,
design, execution, monitoring, controlling and closure of a project. Construction, petrochemical,
architecture, information technology and many different industries that produce products and services
use this job title.
The project manager must have a combination of skills including an ability to ask penetrating questions,
detect unstated assumptions and resolve conflicts, as well as more general management skills.
From many vantage points, assistant project managers enjoy the best of all worlds: they witness a
project thrive, help manage the day-to-details and bask in the knowledge that they are the all-important
right-hand person of the project manager. In many cases, they also carry the lion’s share of
responsibility for administrative tasks. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics flags this distinction in
an interesting way: “Project associates” are listed under “secretaries and administrative assistants.” This
is one job description that may fluctuate from day to day – and with exciting and unknown possibilities
for future advancement.
Function as an adjunct to the project manager, completing tasks as assigned. Ensure that you know
exactly how to contact the project manager at all times; timely communication is vital to project
management.
Educate yourself about where the project manager’s duties end and yours begin to stem any
miscommunication – both between the two of you as well as members of the project team. Moreover,
understand what decision-making powers have been vested in you. On all counts, respect the
boundaries and realize when you must defer to the project manager.
Understand the scope of the project, identify the project participants, keep updated contact information
and ensure that you have a reliable means of communicating at all times during the day with the project
team. This is your “due diligence,” and you should ask as many questions as necessary so that you can
confidently execute your daily responsibilities.
Evaluate the progress of the project to ensure that the timeline is followed steadily and consistently.
Keep an open line of communication with the project participants so they can alert you to potential
snags and problems they might see on the horizon.
Embrace the role of researcher, anticipating that at some point in the project, you will have to
investigate some element that is vital to its culmination. For example, if a vendor suddenly pulls out of
the project, you might be expected to find a replacement in short order.
Perform important administrative functions for the project manager, which might include updating the
project schedule, taking minutes at meetings, making phone calls to vendors and suppliers, responding
to e-mails and writing progress reports to the project team.
PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR
Project Administrators assist with project management duties. They oversee and performing
administrative functions concerned with a project. This may include calling contractors, making
appointments, ordering supplies, doing site visits and preparing reports. Administrators work in several

estimating resources in the use of the same.
The Chief Estimator will oversee analysis of past performance on projects and establish estimating
standards for all future estimates based on such analysis, and assist in oversight of the historical cost
database and bid management and estimating software.
The Chief Estimator has final word on procedures, processes, techniques and personnel decisions for
assigned projects. The Chief Estimator works with the Manager of Special Projects and the Executive
Vice President of Special Projects to oversee department standards for deliverables such as bid
packages, deliverable formats and budget tracking tools.

functions. Projects range from fully defined (conventional �Bid-Build� Projects) to conceptual
(alternative procurement such as �Design-Build� Projects).

The specific tasks of a project architect (PA) are usually associated with architectural design,
construction materials and methods and the production of construction documents[1][unreliable

1. To be clearly visible
One of the duties of a security guard is to make his or herself clearly visible, as this would deter
criminals. Most burglars, shoplifters, muggers, and other criminals would think twice if they see a
security guard on duty. So, being visible is one of the ways by which a security guard foils theft, damage,
personal injury, and other dastardly acts.
2. To be vigilant
A security guard watches out for any strange thing that may mean harm. For this reason, he must have
very keen senses of sight, hearing, and smelling. He should be able to smell it when a cable is burning or
when a chemical is leaking from its container. He should be able to detect strange sounds, such as when
someone is secretly trying to open a door. He should be able to sense it when someone is cleverly trying
to divert his attention off his duty. And he should be able to interpret quickly whatever he sees. So
based on these responsibilities, someone who is short-sighted or long-sighted won’t make a good
security guard.
Not only does a security guard sense crisis; he acts fast to control the situation. So, a security guard must
always be at alert to avoid being caught unawares. How a security guard responds to crisis varies
depending on the threat. A security guard must know how best to respond to various dangerous
situations.
Even after a dangerous situation has been successfully averted, a security guard must not relax yet. He
should keep observing until he is sure that there are no more problems. After a crisis, a security guard
should report the incident to his supervisor, the police or the appropriate authorities (such as the fire
services in the case of a fire outbreak). This way, further steps would be taken to avert a future
recurrence.
5. Getting help
During some very dangerous situations (such as armed robbery attacks or assaults with deadly
weapons), a security guard may be unable to handle the situation. In that case, he would need some
help, and he should waste no time in calling the police. By getting help this way, loss of lives or property
would be averted.
Sometimes, a security guard would be required to maintain certain rules and policies as laid down by his
employer. Individuals may require that visitors be searched before granted entry or that only visitors for
which an appointment has been earlier fixed should be granted entry. Similarly, organizations may
require their employees to show their ID cards before being granted entry into the work premises. In
such cases, a security guard must check and ensure that all the rules and obeyed.
Security guards are usually present in large gatherings, such as parties and political or religious
assemblies. This is to ensure the safety of lives and property and also to prevent stampedes and
breakdown of law and order.
8. Receiving guests
If a security guard positions at an entrance, chances are, he will double as a receptionist because he is
usually the first to receive guests and show them their way. This additional duty requires a security
guard to be very friendly, approachable, and willing to help others.
Among the responsibilities of the security guard is to give tips and precautions to his employers on how
to prevent security-threatening situations. He should also explain the likely consequences of ignoring
these tips, as a way of convincing his employers to adhere to his advice. In addition, a security guard
should do his best to ensure that all safety precautions are adhered to.
Some security guards, especially those hired by individuals, do more than their primary duty most of the
time. They may be saddled with additional responsibilities, such as receiving phone calls, responding to
text and email messages, and running vital errands for their employer. If you are planning to take up a
full-time or part-time security guard job, keep in mind that you will be required to perform these duties.
