Working at the worksite is an exciting form of monozukuri, where you can see a project through from start to finish.

My work

It has been four years since I joined Tokyo Thermal. Even with this level of experience, I am entrusted with managing a variety of worksites, both large and small, in a coordinating role.
I work as a site manager. The worksite brings together professionals in various fields, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. We proceed with the work according to the established construction schedule, but when an unexpected request comes from a client, I have to adjust the work arrangements and manage the project accordingly.

The appeal of the job

I found this company through my own research, rather than through job postings at my university. Since I majored in engineering, I’ve always been interested in monozukuri. However, at a typical manufacturing company, you don’t get to be involved in every step of the process from start to finish.
That is what I find appealing about monozukuri in this industry: I can be involved in every stage of the process, from creating installation drawings and procuring parts to installation, inspection, and negotiations with clients, seeing everything through to completion with my own eyes.

My perspective on work

When I spend time in a comfortable office building, it’s easy to take the benefits of air conditioning for granted. The same goes for plumbing and electrical systems. No matter how impressive a building looks on the outside, people can only truly appreciate it if it has a comfortable environment inside. Nothing beats the sense of accomplishment I feel when I complete work on the building’s systems, which may be hidden from view but play a vital role behind the scenes.
