Receive incoming construction supplies, handle the transaction and enter the supplies into any internal administration system.
Be aware of the threats posed by potentially dangerous goods such as polluting, toxic, corrosive, or explosive materials.
Work as part of a team in a construction project. Communicate efficiently, sharing information with team members and reporting to supervisors. Follow instructions and adapt to changes in a flexible manner.
Coordinate the activities of several construction workers or crews to make sure they do not interfere with each other and to ensure that the works are done in a timely manner. Keep up to date on the progress of the teams and update the schedule if called for.
Drive movable heavy equipment used in construction. Load the equipment onto low loaders, or unload it. Judiciously drive equipment on public roads when required.
Plan, schedule and monitor the building processes in order to ensure completion of the project by the set deadline.
Ensure that the necessary equipment is provided, ready and available for use before start of procedures.
Evaluate the need for labour for the work ahead. Evaluate the performance of the team of workers and inform superiors. Encourage and support the employees in learning, teach them techniques and check the application to ensure product quality and labour productivity.
Apply the relevant health and safety procedures in construction in order to prevent accidents, pollution and other risks.
Maintain records of the progress of the work including time, defects, malfunctions, etc.
Liaise with managers of other departments ensuring effective service and communication, i.e. sales, planning, purchasing, trading, distribution and technical.
Oversee all personnel and processes to comply with health, safety and hygiene standards. Communicate and support alignment of these requirements with the company's health and safety programmes.
Plan future needs of various resources such as time, money and specific process resources.
Plans shifts of employees to ensure completion of all customer orders and satisfactory completion of the production plan.
Consult utility companies or plans on the location of any utility infrastructure that may interfere with a project or be damaged by it. Take the necessary steps to avoid damage.
Monitor the situation around you and anticipate. Be ready to take quick and appropriate action in case of unexpected events.
Oversee the selection, training, performance and motivation of staff.

Regulations on construction products quality standards applied throughout the European Union.
The process of planning, monitoring and adjusting the expenses and revenues of a business in order to achieve cost efficiency and capability.
The methods to remove rock and soil, used in an excavation site and the associated risks.
Behaviour of explosives, pyrotechnics and blasting techniques. Associated risks and legal requirements.
The legislation and regulations surrounding the removal of asbestos contamination from buildings or structures, the safe removal of contaminated materials and the regulations to avoid and prevent contamination.
The generation of electrical energy through the use of nuclear reactors, by converting the energy released from nuclei of atoms in reactors which generate heat. This heat subsequently generates steam which can power a steam turbine to generate electricity.

Remove a structure in a safe and efficient manner and dispose of the debris in a correct and environmentally responsible manner. Use a variety of tools and methods to demolish the structure.
Comply with nuclear power plant safety procedures, policies and legislation to ensure a safe working environment for all employees, and to ensure the safety of the public.
Operate excavators used to dig materials from the surface and load them onto dump trucks.
Use a jackhammer, either manually or attached to a mobile piece of heavy equipment, to break up material.
Focus a narrow beam of strong laser light onto a metal surface to evaporate the material and make a cut. Take the necessary safety precautions, including reflective safety wear and goggles.
Operate an oxygen cutting torch to cut metal, which uses an oxidation reaction combined with heat, allowing quick reaction with iron and steel but uneffective on other materials. Advance the flame at the right speed to allow the exothermic reaction to sustain itself through the thickness of the object to be cut.
Use a plasma cutting torch, which forces a narrow stream of plasma through a nozzle to melt metal, and a gas jet to blow the molten metal away.
Use a wrecking ball to demolish a structure or parts of it. Hoist the wrecking ball into the air with a crane. Drop the ball or swing it in a controlled manner to hit the structure. Prevent misses as the weight and momentum of the ball may destabilise the crane.
Demolish a structure, or part of it, using selective demolition. Identify the different materials in the building and assess their reusability and value. Remove any reusable materials without damaging them.
Dispose of dangerous materials such as chemical or radioactive substances according to environmental and to health and safety regulations.
Dispose of waste materials which pose no risk to health and safety in a manner which complies with recycling and waste management procedures except for waste incineration.
Make sure the company and the employees implement the legal and operational measures established to guarantee protection against radiation.
Take necessary precautions and follow a set of measures that assess, prevent and tackle risks when working at a high distance from the ground. Prevent endangering people working under these structures and avoid falls from ladders, mobile scaffolding, fixed working bridges, single person lifts etc. since they may cause fatalities or major injuries.
Work with heavy construction machinery independently without the intervention of a supervisor. Take responsibility for your decisions and actions.
Administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation or first aid in order to provide help to a sick or injured person until they receive more complete medical treatment.
Provide expert knowledge in a particular field, especially concerning mechanical or scientific subjects, to decision makers, engineers, technical staff or journalists.
