ARCHITECTURE, CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING SECTOR SUPERINTENDENT Besnik Besnik Mucogllava Woodruff Construction Tiffin, Iowa “Due to the experience I had in the past I progressed very fast.” ONLINE: Watch Besnik discuss his work at Woodruff Construction. Go to http://bit.ly/CCAllStars What does your company do? My company does general contracting and design-build services for commercial, corporate office and health care industries. What are your job duties? As superintendent my job duties are to plan, schedule and coordinate with other trades and also delegate work to our employees and subcontractors. What is the most interesting thing about your job? The most interesting things about my job are learning new things and ideas, and the continued improvement of ways things are built. What is the most rewarding part of your job? The most rewarding part of my job is the finishes toward the end of the project. For instance, now I’m running a project at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, and we’re at the finish part right now and it’s very exciting to get stuff done. It’s a rewarding part that you see how things are finished. How did you decide on this career path? I like construction, and I wanted to do something that is field-related but with more office responsibility. So superintendent gives me the opportunity to have both. I came to the U.S. in 2009 from Greece. I did construction in Greece for almost 10 years. When I started with Woodruff, the construction was slightly different compared to Europe. So I started as a laborer even though I had experience. But due to the experience I had in the past I progressed very fast. Also, I have a degree in construction management. I graduated in 2014 from Kirkwood Community College. I’m currently at UNI pursuing a bachelor’s degree, to graduate next spring in technology management. What do most people not realize you do in your job? I’d say coordination between the other trades is easy for people not to notice, especially on this latest project (the UI Children’s Hospital). It’s very time-consuming. I personally don’t even know where my time goes. • 6 ALL STARS of the Creative Corridor
