Summary

A job that uses hand tools and heavy machinery at construction sites to adjust the height of the ground and create a uniform surface.

Description

Ground leveling workers are responsible for uniformly leveling the ground surface in the early stages of construction projects. They perform leveling using hand tools (rakes and trowels), measure heights using laser leveling devices to eliminate differences in elevation, and establish drainage slopes. In some cases, they operate construction machinery such as bulldozers and graders for large-scale leveling. This is an important process for preparing the groundwork for foundation and paving works, requiring precise execution and safety management.

Future Outlook

Demand is stable as a foundational task in civil engineering works. With advancements in labor-saving and mechanization, there is a need for advanced heavy equipment operation and adaptation to automation technologies. Infrastructure aging measures and increased disaster prevention works suggest steady job openings in the future.
