Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Occupation involving assembling construction machinery such as bulldozers and cranes used at construction sites, adjusting parts, and conducting performance inspections.
Description
Construction machinery assemblers and adjusters assemble construction machinery such as cranes, bulldozers, and power shovels used at construction sites and factories, adjust engines and hydraulic systems, conduct performance tests, and finish them to operate safely and efficiently. Based on mechanical drawings and specifications, they accurately assemble parts such as frames, engines, and hydraulic piping, and use torque wrenches and measuring instruments to adjust clearances and pressures in each part. After assembly, they conduct operational tests, travel tests, and load tests to check for abnormal sounds, vibrations, and leaks, and make fine adjustments as necessary. They work in a wide range of environments from mass assembly on production lines to on-site dispatches, and quality control and compliance with safety standards are also important.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to ongoing infrastructure development and construction needs, but automation and robot introduction are progressing, leading to labor reduction, so the value of personnel with advanced adjustment skills will remain high.
