Ministry expands 'National Certified Supervision System' to roads and transport

South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport is enhancing construction site safety and quality by extending the 'National Certified Supervision System' to encompass road and transportation infrastructure projects. This initiative seeks to identify and nurture highly skilled veteran supervisors with proven on-site management capabilities.

The move is part of a broader effort to bolster the reliability of construction projects. The National Certified Supervision System is designed to ensure that only competent professionals, rigorously vetted for their expertise, are entrusted with overseeing critical infrastructure development. This aims to prevent substandard construction and ensure adherence to high-quality standards.

In conjunction with this expansion, the ministry has also introduced the '2026 Excellent Construction Technology Personnel Selection Plan.' This plan is specifically designed to discover and foster top talent within the construction industry. Interested individuals can begin submitting applications for this program starting July 20th. The ministry anticipates that these measures will significantly contribute to the overall advancement and integrity of the nation's construction sector.
