What can I do as a timber construction foreman with a federal certificate?

The federal certificate as a timber construction foreman certifies your ability to carry out timber construction projects on the construction sites assigned to you or in the workshop with a small team of carpenters and apprentices in a technically correct and qualitatively flawless manner, on time and in compliance with safety regulations for people and the environment. As the first point of contact on site, you will be able to ensure contact and the flow of information between the construction site and the company as well as the practical training of apprentices.
