Assistant superintendents working with Senior Super

I work corporate interiors for a GC in Houston. I interned for a large GC in town for 2 years. Went to work as an assistant super after college. Did a grocery store under a cranky old super. I ran my own job after Hurricane Harvey flooded an HEB in town. Store was basically brand new from 8 ft down. I then left for this new position. My senior super is great. Very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. My question is, how do most supers and their assistants work together? It was hard at first going from running my own job to going back to being assistant. I feel like sometime he has the job outlined in his head but doesn't share with me. I feel like there is a lack of communication sometimes. I don't know what he is doing or talking to, therefore I look stupid when the project manager asks me about a certain thing and I can't tell him because my senior was taking care of that item. Any pointers from seniors or assistants out there??

The Southern Environmental Law Center , along with other environmental groups, is petitioning for an administrative hearing to challenge the environmental permit.
