Video: 3 Construction Jobs That Don't Exist (Yet) 2024, May
Of course, the profession of a builder can be talked about endlessly. The work of people who engage in this type of activity on a professional basis deserves the highest praise. Without them, there would be no houses, no shops, no cinemas, no hospitals, no stadiums.
It should be noted that the builder is a profession that appeared a long time ago, many centuries ago.
The construction industry today is a priority for a person
Probably, since the person learned to build, his thoughts have constantly focused on how to improve the tools available in his arsenal, as well as on what unique configurations of buildings and structures can be thought up and how to erect them in a short time.
The builder is a profession in which one must constantly think, otherwise today we would not admire the grandeur of the Egyptian pyramids and the beauty of the Roman aqueducts.
It should be emphasized that a person all the time tries to modernize the process of erecting various objects. Everything that we see today on the streets of cities appeared as a result of the painstaking work of builders.
Of course, there are few professions that could compare with the field of activity we are considering in terms of the breadth of creative imagination, the diversity of interests and the degree of manifestation of enthusiasm.
The builder is a diverse profession. It is not limited only to the construction of housing. A person needs to go to theaters, museums, art galleries, a circus. And where would he go if there were no such objects? Moreover, the builder is a responsible profession. Imagine what will happen if, after a few months, a new shopping center or hospital collapses! Of course, a tragedy. All claims to the quality of construction, of course, will be presented to people who were directly involved in the construction of facilities.
Those who specialize in the construction of buildings and structures are also responsible for historical and cultural monuments. Their restorers are also considered builders, only they are forced to solve a more complex problem - to bring the object back to its original form.
It is safe to say that the builder is the profession of the future.
Moreover, no matter how pathetic it sounds, but it is also a vocation. Such a profession implies the mandatory use of creativity and extraordinary solutions. Construction differs from other areas of activity in that its final result is the original aesthetics of cities, the practicality of apartments or the uniqueness of factory structures. Each builder is proud of his profession, because he perfectly understands: his work is aimed at ensuring that a person lives comfortably and easily.
Profession Description
In the top of the most sought-after professions, the builder firmly occupies the position of the golden mean. However, today experts record a shortage of qualified personnel in the field of activity.
The description of the profession "builder" involves the coverage of the issue of what is included in his responsibilities. What does the person who chose this occupation do? It should be noted that the list of specializations in construction is quite wide: facing, painting, plastering, repair work.
They, among other things, are often combined with related professions, such as a carpenter or an electrician.
A bit of history
The description of the profession "builder" would be incomplete without mentioning when it began to emerge. And this happened in the era of antiquity, when all "work collectives" were exclusively engaged in all the constructions, the basis of which were representatives of the lower class - slaves. Over time, their activities grew into the category of wage labor and still many residents of large cities perceive people employed in this field of activity, just like that.
The popularity rating of the builder profession is growing steadily
Today in many Russian regions there is a real construction boom when new residential complexes, shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, movie theaters appear like mushrooms after the rain. At the same time, the state takes an active part in development projects, which in itself means additional security guarantees. Because of this, the popularity of the above profession is growing rapidly.
Profession Features
Of course, today many are engaged in this field of activity.
It is necessary not only to be able to qualitatively perform a full range of repair and construction works, but also to thoroughly know and observe safety precautions. In addition, you need to master the skills of handling various sets of tools.
Of course, personal qualities are also important. Of particular value for the above field of activity are the following: accuracy, diligence, perseverance, patience. It is also necessary diligence and the desire to always bring the job started to the end. In addition to this, you need to have an impeccable physical shape and excellent health - this is the only way to achieve high performance when working at hazardous facilities.
Occupational risks
Those who plan to competently engage in construction must take into account the nuances and characteristics of the profession described in the previous section.
Otherwise, you can lose health and disability. An unfavorable climate and hazardous working conditions can act as concomitant factors here.
Where to learn to be a builder?
In order to erect buildings and structures, higher education will not be required of you, a certificate of completion of all secondary schools will be enough. At the same time, it should be noted that employers prefer to promote those who have documents on graduation from a higher or secondary specialized educational institution along the career ladder.
Wage level
Unfortunately, the profession in question cannot be classified as highly paid.
The builder’s salary depends on a number of factors: working conditions, work complexity, skill level, geographical location of the facility being built and others. The builder’s career usually ends with the position of foreman or technician, after which many try to organize their own business.
Who is a civil engineer?
A construction engineer can expect a higher salary than conventional plasterer or painter. This profession is extremely important at the construction site. The person occupying the above position, in fact, is entrusted with the functions of a superintendent. He supervises the construction of everyday work and monitors the quality of their implementation.
In addition, he is involved in integrated design issues, ensuring the supply of all communications to the construction site. Moreover, he is engaged in the development of general plans of designed objects.
The salary of a civil engineer varies from 15,000 to 50,000 rubles per month, depending on the skill level.
"Road builders"
We should also mention those who are professionally engaged in the laying of the roadway. Unfortunately, the harsh phrase “Russia has no roads, but only directions”, expressed at one time by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, has not lost its relevance to date. That is why the road builder is a profession that is now incredibly in demand in our country. We must change the prevailing opinion among European countries about the low quality of our road routes.
It should be noted that in the construction segment under consideration today there is a shortage of qualified estimators, designers, site managers.
