せいちさぎょういん
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that involves operating heavy machinery and surveying equipment used at construction sites to eliminate land unevenness and level the ground flat.
Description
Land grading workers are responsible for smoothly finishing the ground at building and civil engineering sites using heavy machinery such as bulldozers, graders, and laser levelers, as well as surveying equipment. Based on site surveys, they confirm heights and slopes, repeatedly excavate soil, add embankment, and compact it to ensure the specified shape and strength. Collaborating with site supervisors and construction managers while paying attention to safety, they prepare the ground so that subsequent foundation work and paving work can proceed without issues.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to infrastructure maintenance and urban redevelopment. As the adoption of ICT construction machinery and autonomous heavy equipment progresses, advanced machinery operation skills and acquisition of surveying techniques will be required.
