Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
As soon as it gets hot, that’s all anyone talks about, isn’t it?
It's just hot, hot, hot.
Looks like my brain has already shut down, lol.
But man, it's hot, isn't it? lol
But that's beside the point.
The other day, I was talking with an administrator I know.
How many years does it take to become a director?
How I Became a Slope Construction Foreman lol
That's the job of a site supervisor, isn't it?
Conclusion
Until I can handle the director's job competently.
Roughly four years!
I think it will take at least that long.
Reason
Year 1: Learn the workflow. Learn the specifications. Use CAD and Excel.
Second Year: Able to thoroughly read drawings and specifications, and capable of preparing completion documents to a certain extent as a subcontractor.
Year 3: Able to handle a wide range of tasks competently. Able to participate in meetings related to their area of expertise.
4th Year: Gained experience as a general contractor; able to oversee the entire construction project. (Received evaluations from other companies.)
Year 5: I start paying close attention to the prime contractor’s paperwork. I try to score points.
Year 6: Stationed at NEXCO construction sites and major general contractor sites
Year 7: Served as a site representative for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
After 8 years: It's just a matter of gaining more experience. You'll be able to succeed anywhere.
*This is just the author's personal opinion.*
Evaluation
Generally speaking, starting in the fourth year, people outside the company (at other companies) begin to evaluate that person.
"That person is good at their job," "I'd like to work with that person," and so on.
When that happens, that person gains confidence and keeps moving up and up.
If that happens, there'll be no end to the growth!
It’s around this point that construction management really starts to get fun, doesn’t it?
The Challenges of Construction Management
Generally speaking,Projects for Major General ContractorsI guess so... For example,NEXCO and public corporation construction sitesThat's right.
As expected, supervisors at major general contractors are in a league of their own.
There’s a huge gap between high achievers and those who aren’t, but the level of high achievers is incredibly high.
However, the expectations are high, so it's tough.
Once you get the hang of this, any job site should be a breeze.
And then, next...On-site Representative of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and TourismThat's right.
After all, the standards here are high, and since this is construction on a major route, the ability to see the big picture and
You'll need comprehensive skills to manage the entire process and budget.
As expected, those working on Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) projects tend to focus almost exclusively on MLIT projects, as if they were regulars.
No matter which construction office I go to, I always run into them at the weekly progress meeting at the end of the week.
Before I knew it, the drinking party with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism rep was about to start, lol.
Since we have things in common and share the same concerns, it’s bound to be a fun gathering, isn’t it?
Does it take longer than a craftsman would?
Actually, it takes more time to train a site supervisor in construction management than it does to train construction workers.
Since I'm on the administrative side, this is the kind of opinion I end up expressing, but I suppose most administrators would say the same thing, wouldn't they?
There are so many different things to learn.
There are just so many of them.
Planning, budgeting, scheduling, complaint handling, construction management, safety, design, computers, transit instruments, levels, drones, and more
You can't be a director unless you have a general understanding of certain things and know them to a certain extent.
What's more, there are many sections where you really need a lot of experience points.
What will happen next?
What's even more serious than the shortage of skilled workers isShortage of AdministratorsI suppose so.
If there's no one to manage things, the work on-site will definitely not move forward.
This will result in a situation where the work cannot be completed by the craftsmen alone.
The reverse is also true, but there will be a massive shortage of administrators.
The government is trying to address the shortage of skilled workers by bringing in foreign workers and others, but when it comes to engineers...
I can't help but feel that jobs tend to go to companies that have a certain number of construction managers.
It’s scary to think that if we don’t start training managers now for five years down the line, we’ll end up in a bad situation.
See you later.
