First days shape entire careers. In this episode, walk the site with a superintendent who turns rookie nerves into real productivity using a 15-minute First-Hour Tour, a buddy system built on “watch one, do one, teach back one,” and two pocket tools: the Job Map (Access, Info, Material, Tools, Predecessors) and a 10-day Passport Page for must-have skills.

You’ll hear field-ready moves that boost safety, speed learning, and cut rework—plus simple morale builders like a crew Win Board and a 90-second Look Back/Look Ahead close-out.

Foremen, supers, and craft leads: if you hire, train, or coach on the slab, this is your blueprint for onboarding that actually sticks. #BeNEXT
