FIELD WORK ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OPPORTUNITIES IN CONSTRUCTION FOR PEOPLE IN TRADES

ENGINEERS CONCERNED WITH DIRECT FIELDWORK HAVE TO ALLOCATE
THE WORK TO THE VARIOUS AGENCIES UNDER THEIR CONTROL, ARRANGE
FOR MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT, AND ENSURE THAT THE WORKS ARE
CARRIED OUT BY THE WORKERS AS PER THE SPECIFICATIONS LAID
DOWN AND AS PER DRAWINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY THE PLANNERS. THEY
WOULD HAVE TO ALSO ENSURE THAT THE WORK IS CARRIED OUT AS PER
THE GIVEN SCHEDULE, AND THIS WOULD REQUIRE CONSTANT
MONITORING OF THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE WORKERS UNDER THEIR
CONTROL. THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THE WORKERS HAS ALSO TO BE
ENSURED BY THE ENGINEER. ON LARGER SITES, SEPARATE ENGINEERS
WOULD BE CONCERNED WITH THE LAYING OUT OF THE WORK AND THE
MEASURING IT AFTER IT IS COMPLETED. A SEPARATE QA QC SECTION
WOULD ALSO OVERSEE THE NECESSARY QUALITY.
OPPORTUNITIES IN CONSTRUCTION DEPEND ON THE EDUCATIONAL
BACKGROUND AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING PEOPLE HAVE ACQUIRED
BEFORE THEIR ENTRY INTO THE INDUSTRY. UNSKILLED AND
SEMI-SKILLED SITE LABOR, WHICH IS REQUIRED ON MOST PROJECT
SITES, FORM A LARGE PART OF THE WORKFORCE ON ANY CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT. THERE IS NO EDUCATIONAL OR VOCATIONAL TRAINING
REQUIRED IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK AT
CONSTRUCTION SITES. HOWEVER, CONTRACTORS WHO HIRE SUCH LABOR
WILL GIVE PREFERENCE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN WORKING
ON SIMILAR PROJECTS. THUS EXPERIENCE BECOMES A MUST WHEN YOU
LOOK FOR SUCH OPPORTUNITIES.

OFFSITE WORK AND COORDINATION

THERE IS ALSO A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HAS TO BE
DONE OFF SITE IN ANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. THIS CAN INVOLVE
DETAIL SCHEDULING AND MONITORING OF PROGRESS TO ENSURE THAT
THE WORK IS WITHIN THE TIME SCHEDULE ENVISAGED BY THE OWNERS
OR STAKEHOLDERS. ATTENTION IS ALSO REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO
PROCUREMENT OF THE MATERIALS TO ENSURE THAT THE SCHEDULE OF
CONSTRUCTION IS NOT INTERRUPTED. PROVISION OF TEMPORARY
FACILITIES LIKE OFFICES, STORAGE SPACE, WATER SUPPLY,
ELECTRICITY, AND SECURITY MAY REQUIRE THE ATTENTION OF THE
ENGINEER.
