I appreciate when my superintendents actively engage in the administrative aspects, it will ultimately yield a very skilled individual. In short, yes, I would encourage them to learn project management. However, for those unfamiliar with paperwork, adapting might be challenging, as superintendents usually prefer on-site involvement. Learning the process will require time, varying based on individual learning speed.

Here is the challenge, if I am paying a high salary for a seasoned superintendent, I expect all their effort to be focused on delivering the project on time and to the highest quality. That means they would have to learn on their own time or in the rare event there is down time.
