My New Job

Exactly two months ago today I started my new job at a company in my area as an apprentice electrician. Although I am still an apprentice they have moved me to the office and I've officially been deemed a project manager. Fewf, I'm nervous just thinking about it. On paper I have 3 jobs to oversee and I am so overwhelmed. Are there any project managers out there who can offer me some words of wisdom?
I'm being lead by a super strong role model & support manager and he is there to help me in more ways than I can say. Although I've been taken off of learning hands on parts of the trade, I'm learning a lot of the back end things that are really putting pieces together in my mind.

Here are some photo's below of me out in the field doing some smaller tasks but happily learning even the tedious things :)

Installing RF access points.....
 Me trouble shooting an LED recessed light (come to find out the fixture was fine but the driver was bad)
 First breaker I installed on that jobsite. That panel (I believe) was power to the pool. A cute little job but when dealing with panels I'm pretty stressed out.

Below is me on an 8 foot ladder (wooo it wasn't that bad once you got used to the heights) installing a surveillance camera below the eves. Dead center in the bay and it went in smooth after a little struggle.  
 Lastly, the photo below was of my first task I got assigned by myself. I needed to assemble and install these chandelier lamps. It was a success but to my sadness I had to dismantle it and send the fixture back since the fixture was not meant for angled ceilings like this one.

However, after about three weeks we finally got the revised fixtures in and they turned out fabulous! My project was complete and ready for move in date!
