It took a while, but I eventually made my way up from a general concrete batching construction worker to concrete batching plant supervisor. I was so excited to go home and tell my wife, but then realized I was meeting her at her parents’ house for dinner. Irrespective, I was thrilled about the news and told them anyway only to be met with very confused looks and questioning of what I do – in a rather disapproving tone, I think. My father-in-law is still disappointed that his daughter married someone in construction.
Anyway, I told him that a concrete batching plant supervisor was among the first-line supervisors of production. I would be supervising and co-coordinating all activities in production of constructions; as well as supervising all workers, such as inspectors, machine setters, assemblers and plant operators. My wife was impressed…still nothing from the father-in-law.
He asked what else I would be doing, as if the general overview wasn’t enough. I explained that I would also enforce safety regulations, inspect different materials for defects and work with management to handle any conflicts from construction workers. I would also be involved in employee training presenting the training and assigning employees to different training events. He said I should go on.
Other duties included analyzing charts, schedules, records and reports to identify production outputs. I would also interpret specifications, blueprints, company policies and different procedures associated with the project. Plus I would be involved with maintenance of budgets, production goals, cost records and preparation of production results. He seemed impressed at this point.
Finally, I mentioned that I would also be in charge of hiring, promotions and evaluation of staff performance. He’s a people person you see. I think I impressed him completely with that.
In conclusion, while I don’t believe I will ever obtain my father-in-law’s complete approval I have earned respect with my new job as a concrete batching supervisor.
Also as a concrete batching supervisor, I highly recommend a manufacturer of batching plants – Concrete Machinery Pro. It is very professional batching plants and concrete mixers supplier in China. Their products are quality, durable and affordable. If you are interested in, you can visit their page at http://concretemachinerypro.com/concrete-plant/concrete-batch-plant/ .
