knowledge, but you can generally learn these on the job. Secretaries generally work
in an office setting. In general, secretaries perform basic clerical, organizational and
office responsibilities for an organization or department.
Company secretaries guide company directors about the day-to-day
management of their organizations, including compliance with legal and statutory
requirements. Employers of company secretaries include local and national
government, charities, accountancies, banks/financial institutions, housing
associations, law firms etc.

Files
Secretaries often manage customer files and other records in an office. In a doctor's
office, for instance, the secretary pulls each patient's file at the time of the
appointment for the nurse or doctor. She replaces it when the appointment is over.
Keeping files in alphabetical order and using a local filing system for easy storage
and retrieval are keys to successful file organization.
Correspondence
Secretaries are the common liaison for incoming and outgoing phone and mail
correspondence. They receive calls from clients, business partners, workers or
community members, and either answer questions or forward the calls. They also
make calls on behalf of managers to communicate information to customers, to
schedule appointments or to follow up on inquiries. Taking notes from a manager,
preparing a memo or letter, and screening mail are common written
correspondence duties.
Documents
Secretaries are often tasked with copying documents for mailings or for internal
distribution. They also must fax documents from the company to clients or
customers, and receive incoming faxes to pass on to the appropriate person. Some
secretaries use email, Word and Excel to create spreadsheets or documents and
pass them on to employees or customers. Proofreading documents before they are
sent out of the office is another duty.
Office Tasks
Especially in small offices, a secretary may be asked to carry out routine clerical
tasks and errands to assist others. This may include canceling or rescheduling
appointments, ordering office supplies, taking notes during meetings, and getting
drinks for the supervisor and guests.
Page 11
JOB SCOPE
Secretary

Reception
In general office positions, secretaries commonly assist new employees and visitors
in finding their way around. This includes directing visitors to the people they came
to meet and showing new employees where to go on their first day. In general, the
secretary projects the image of the business by offering a friendly and professional
reception to people who come into the office.
Clerical Duties
Each construction job has its own set of documents to maintain. Filing of bid
documents, contracts, subcontracts, and purchase orders is part of the job. It's
important to keep change orders -- issued when a contractor or owner initiates a
change to the original scope of the job -- filed accurately and in order. Project
foremen or superintendents may keep a daily project diary that you'll maintain. Every
company has different needs depending on the size of the staff, but you may also
schedule meetings, maintain a staff calendar, distribute correspondence and
prepare documents.
Specialized Duties
Project managers oversee construction jobs and many companies also employ
project engineers to assist them. In smaller companies, you may perform some of the
duties typically assigned to project engineers. You might process RFIs (requests for
information) sent to project architects or organize a library of material samples. You
also may assist the project accountant by copying invoices for job costing and
billing. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has strict
regulations on the posting of information for employees, so you may be responsible
for posting workplace safety posters and maintaining forms for reporting to
manager.

Solid knowledge of office procedures.
Experience with office management software like MS Office (MS Excel and MS
Word, specifically).
Strong organization skills with a problem-solving attitude.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Attention to detail.

JOB SCOPE
Financial Manager
The role of the financial manager in a construction organization is essential to
organizational success, and more importantly, is vital to avoiding failure. In many
circumstances, competition is so fierce and margins are so thin, reliable financial
information and analysis certainly can make the difference between success and
failure.
The skills and personalities of the other members of the management team also
affect the role of the construction financial manager. The majority of a company’s
administrative work can be performed in any department and will be allocated
among departments partly based on the skills and personalities of the respective
department managers. To a great extent, sharing of responsibilities depends on the
skills and personalities of the management team members.
Successful financial managers respect the need for compromise in sharing
responsibilities. In small companies, responsibilities are assigned to a smaller group
of managers and, accordingly, each manager must handle a wider range of
responsibilities. For example, the financial manager in a small company with three
senior managers (owner, operations manager and finance manager) will typically be
responsible for all administrative and financial tasks. The other two senior managers
will typically concentrate on marketing, estimating and project management.
The department with primary responsibility for customer and subcontractor
relations (usually the construction operations department) will prefer to be the
primary contact in order to minimize the possibility of misunderstandings between
the parties. Because there is no one standard set of construction financial manager
responsibilities, each financial manager should be alert for areas of responsibility that
are not clearly defined in the organization. The financial manager should take the
initiative in assuring that all significant responsibilities are assigned.

and healthy working place;
To provide basic knowledge on safety and health at construction work sites; and
To bring awareness to construction workers about legal requirements in relation
