A.3 Work environment and specific nature of work
The main work of a construction site manager is carried out on the building site. Working hours are flexible: the general rule is a five-day working week, but in some cases it is necessary to work on weekends as well. The work may be intense depending on construction technology needs, seasonality or... the work schedule. Depending on the building site, the construction site manager may have to work at heights or in pits.
There are higher risks involved in working on site, which is why it is crucial for the construction site manager to follow environmental and occupational health and safety requirements.
