Urgent Need for Construction Managers: How to Secure the Next Generation of Site Supervisors Now

■ Aging Construction Sites
The construction industry is rapidly facing an aging workforce among its technical staff. According to a survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, approximately 30% of construction technicians are 55 years or older, while those under 29 account for just over 10%, highlighting a significant age imbalance.

Despite this, construction demand continues. Voices are increasingly heard saying, "We can't take on new orders because we don't have enough people," or "We have to turn down projects because we can't form adequate management teams." The shortage of personnel has become a structural issue for the entire industry.

■ Structural Challenges in Securing Site Supervisors Beyond Simple Recruitment
Among these roles, site supervisors, who oversee project schedules, costs, quality, and safety, are crucial for site operations. However, personnel capable of fulfilling these responsibilities are concentrated in the mid-career and veteran ranks, with many companies having qualified supervisors aged 50 and above.

On the other hand, recruiting younger talent is becoming increasingly difficult. Even when successful, it takes several years to train them into fully capable site supervisors. Furthermore, there is a shortage of mid-career professionals to mentor and train these younger employees, exacerbating the challenges in both securing and developing human resources.

As the retirement of older workers begins in earnest, traditional recruitment methods are becoming insufficient to maintain future site management capabilities. In addition to domestic recruitment, exploring new options for securing personnel is becoming essential.

■ Strategies for Leveraging Highly Skilled Foreign Workers to Strengthen the Construction Workforce
This seminar will focus on utilizing "highly skilled foreign workers" as a solution to the structural problem of site supervisor shortages.

We will clearly explain what utilizing highly skilled foreign workers entails, from the basic concepts to specific recruitment methods and the establishment of support systems. We will also introduce actual cases of companies that have successfully hired and integrated highly skilled foreign workers into site supervisor roles.

Excenishimura obtained a license for paid employment placement services in 2021 and has been involved in dispatching and introducing foreign workers. For our construction industry clients, we provide comprehensive support, including Japanese language training, living assistance, and regular follow-ups, primarily for candidates in site supervision roles. To date, we have successfully introduced a total of 80 individuals from Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Mongolia.

We will share practical points for utilizing overseas construction personnel as a new option for securing talent.

■ Recommended For:
- CEOs and executives who are highly concerned about the shortage of site supervisors.
- HR and recruitment managers struggling to hire young site engineers.
- Those who feel domestic recruitment has reached its limits and are considering new options for securing personnel.
- Individuals interested in utilizing highly skilled foreign workers but have concerns about the specific procedures and support systems.
