Summary
A job that involves crushing and removing concrete, asphalt, etc., using tools such as jackhammers and heavy equipment breakers at civil engineering construction sites.
Description
Civil jackhammer operators use jackhammers, vibration hammers, heavy equipment breakers, etc., at civil engineering construction sites to crush and remove concrete, asphalt, and stone materials. They perform chiseling work as pre-demolition and repair preparation for road repairs, bridge reinforcements, tunnel repairs, etc., to ensure construction quality and safety. The work requires high physical strength, and the use of protective gear such as dust masks, helmets, and safety belts is essential. They must collaborate with site workers, heavy equipment operators, and civil engineers to carry out the work accurately and efficiently.
Future Outlook
There is ongoing demand for infrastructure aging countermeasures and repair work, and stable job openings are expected. On the other hand, shortage of young workers is an issue, and the introduction of robots and labor-saving equipment is expected to progress.
