Learn as you earn

Article Abstract:

Industry bodies and government should invest in training to improve the ability and status of construction site managers and workers. The site manager is considered by some to be the key figure in a contracting organisation, as the one responsible for all project work. Salary and status are not commensurate with the work, however. A site manager should be an effective leader, motivated and committed, able to motivate other workers, be experienced and should understand management issues. However, lack of training leads to site managers progressing careers towards head office.

A hard day's site

Article Abstract:

A typical construction site manager earns 25,000 pounds sterling annually, but has to manage around 70 subcontractors and 10 of his own staff as well as being responsible for the entire project. There is no overtime pay despite working 65 hours/week. All training has been acquired while working, with no management training given at all. Project managers are not offered incentive bonuses to complete jobs on time. Site personnel has remained at the same level despite more stringent regulations that have to be complied with.
