Effective time management supports the upkeep of an efficient budget and schedule, enabling all Trade Partners and Century associates to make the best decisions possible based on up-to-date and accurate information. This allows for a smooth and organized transition from one task to another, which leads to better-quality communities, finished lots, and homes and on-time delivery to your internal and external partners and ultimately, Century’s Homeowners. Tools of the Trade are the physical tools or information required for successful completion of your job. When considering the tools necessary to do your job effectively, one might first think of a computer and phone along with access to project files and communications. Additional important tools relate to the project’s stage of development and your location of support (e.g., office, auto, field). Field items include a hard hat, boots, and other safety equipment. The following tools should always be on hand and easily accessible. Additional tools may be required depending on your region or division. REQUIRED TOOLS OF THE TRADE: A Company issued laptop loaded with all necessary programs along with access to all relative Century drives, files, and Land Development technology platforms and tools. A Phone: Always have your phone with you and where you can hear it and answer calls, texts, and emails immediately. Communicating in real time with your internal and external partners as you walk the jobsite will help keep you on schedule. A iPad: In addition to a regular laptop for daily administrative tasks, all field associates must have a company-issued mobile device such as an iPad to accommodate the Mobile Job Management Express (MJME) platform. This MJME is what allows access to and participation in Century’s Land Development Scheduling system (BuildPro). A Hard hat: It is a Century policy that every person on an active jobsite is required to wear a hard hat. This policy is non-negotiable. Safety is our number one priority!
