When limited fieldwork resources cause team friction, I focus on clear priorities, open communication, and fairness. First, I align the team on critical projects and allocate resources accordingly. Next, I foster an environment of transparency, encouraging team members to express needs and concerns openly. A rotation system or shared scheduling ensures equitable access, preventing resentment. I also promote collaborative problem-solving, empowering the team to find solutions together. Finally, I monitor progress, remain flexible, and adjust as needed to keep everyone engaged and motivated. This approach builds trust and ensures resources are used effectively, fostering a productive and harmonious team environment.

I believe limited fieldwork resources in a project team is mainly a consequence of bad past priorities for the project. It means thatvsome members might have abused the resources on non priority areas. To navigate: Revise project objectives and allocate priority activities desired resources Also assign projects teams specific project objectives and ensure everything is done within the confines of those objectives. As a team lead, create an open channel and encourage group sessions to discuss challenges and address conflicts that relate to those fieldwork resources.

You outsource and hire subcontractors like myself to conduct work for the overflow or exhausted crews. Secondly, client or regulatory negotiations if necessary to acquire extensions to complete the work. Lastly, hire but only under the right circumstances. Ensure the work load can support the additional hires during slow season.

Resources are limited. The team is fighting over them. What to do? Step 1: Clearly define tasks and the resources needed to accomplish them Step 2: Follow the startup approach. Delegate one person for each task and provide her the access to required resources. In case there is an overlap in resource requirement, set a usage timeline. Step 3: Once you have the resources, proactively utilise them rather than delaying the usage. You're set.

Every project should be costed into manpower, machinery, money. The situation of limited fieldwork resources if it is equipment needs to be managed as an operating team sharing a resource or people would be paid but not available to work. Management expertise of how that equipment is being used is just that, direction of a resource. This also protects equipment from the abuse of being shared machinery as maintenance, cleaning, and operating limits are all observed due to accountability. Resource time allocation should be put forward at the outset but be flexible enough to take into account external factors that can influence operations. Operate the equipment under shelter in case of poor weather, power back up, and moving the equipment.

Hire more people, or contract out the work. Your field crew is probably getting burned out in this situation. Also, make sure that you are doing the absolute minimum in the field by doing the max preparation in advance such as sorting materials, printing shipping labels, prefilling forms and paperwork, etc. and eliminating unnecessary and onorous tasks by analyzing the scope and purpose of each and every step needed to accomplish it.
