Creating and managing jobs

Job vs. site

On Gaffer a job is a piece of work with a start and (usually) end date. It has an address, a workforce, and optional budget. That address is the site — the GPS anchor workers clock in against. Most of the time there's one site per job. A job with multiple sites is supported but uncommon.

Create a job

1. Dashboard or Jobs page → + New Job (top right).
2. Fill in name, address, start date.
3. Add margin / budget if you want Gaffer to flag over-run risk.
4. Assign workers. They can be added later too.
5. Save.

The new job shows immediately in the Active Jobs table and in workers' apps the next time they sign in.

Assigning workers

Open a job, click Assign workers. Pick from your list. Workers can be on multiple jobs — when they clock in the app asks which site they're on if there's ambiguity.

Filter & search

Jobs page has a filter box that matches on job name, address, and ID. The column headers are sortable — click to sort by status, start date, or margin.

Ask AI about jobs

On the Jobs page, click Ask AI. Ask things like:

• Which jobs are over budget this month?
• Which sites haven't had a RAMS signed in the last 7 days?
• Who's been on Riverside the most this week?

The AI only answers from your own data. It won't make up jobs or workers.

Finish & archive

When a job is done, open it and change the status to Completed. Completed jobs stay searchable, keep their audit trail, and stop appearing in daily KPIs. They're never deleted — Gaffer is built to keep the record in case of a later dispute or HSE audit.
