Working at the forefront of manufacturing at construction sites, contributing to urban development
I work as a construction supervisor at a new construction office, managing construction quality, schedule, and safety at the site. The appeal of this work is being involved in the frontline of building construction at 1:1 scale and feeling that the construction progresses through my efforts. I can see the people involved in the construction work. By being involved in symbolic buildings, I feel that I am contributing to the revitalization of the city. The reason I chose this job was that during an internship at Obayashi Corporation during my job search, I saw people working enthusiastically and passionately in manufacturing. I came to want to work at the forefront of manufacturing at construction sites rather than designing buildings. My ultimate goal is to become a site superintendent who can lead many workers.
Knowledge of architectural structures is useful for studying for first-class architect qualifications and for structural calculations performed in actual site work. I also feel that CAD knowledge is essential.

Experiencing manufacturing through the construction of concrete bridges
I currently belong to the construction management section of the engineering department of a company specializing in prestressed concrete bridges. Concrete bridges sometimes use factory-manufactured members, but on-site manufacturing allows me to experience many manufacturing processes such as surveying, temporary work installation, formwork erection and assembly, and concrete placement. Being involved in the production of structures large enough to completely transform the surrounding landscape by building bridges where nothing existed before makes me feel very rewarded. I originally liked manufacturing and wanted to join a company that builds social infrastructure, and that's when I encountered Kawada Industries. I thought I could utilize what I learned about concrete, so I decided to join the company. Since I often interact with craftsmen and people from other companies at construction sites, I think that cultivating communication skills and cooperativeness while in school has led to where I am now.
Surveying, structural mechanics, and concrete engineering. What I learned in the faculty's surveying practice is one of the necessary abilities when actually managing construction at a site. I perform the learned work at sites, which has been very useful even after employment.

Engaged in research and development of "water" essential for manufacturing
I am engaged in research and development work related to the production of ultrapure water (water with very few impurities) used in the semiconductor manufacturing field. Regardless of product type, water is essential for manufacturing, and I feel great appeal in the fact that water quality and the technology provided by Organo support the foundation of companies. The reason I chose this job was that I learned through job hunting that "water" is essential for manufacturing. I was attracted by the fact that it is used in a wide range of areas from daily life to products around us. In the future, I aim to deepen my knowledge and understanding of the work so that our work can become the foundation for manufacturing and development that supports the next generation, and I aim to be someone who can stay at the forefront of the industry.
While in school, I studied chemical engineering and worked on research related to powder engineering. The experience of using multiple analytical instruments for one material and evaluating its properties from multiple perspectives is useful in my current research and development work.
