I was drawn to the appeal of electrical construction sites and chose construction management as my career.
I enjoy meeting and working with many different people.K.MConstruction Management/Sapporo Branch K.M

A job where I could gain practical, lifelong skills.
I am originally from Sapporo. When I was in university, I majored in English and focused on studying the language. Rather than joining clubs, I worked part-time at a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant.
When I started job hunting, I didn’t have a specific job I wanted to do, so I set conditions such as having weekends off and working in a job that would be useful in daily life, including after marriage or childcare.
When I shared these preferences with my university career center, they introduced me to our company. At first, I simply thought, “Electrical construction?” But when I learned that I could acquire technical skills such as CAD drawing, I became interested.
The interview left a strong impression on me. Compared with other companies, which felt more formal and mechanical, our interview atmosphere was very open and easy to talk in. That made me feel that I wanted to work here. -
Electrical construction sites are fascinating — a completely different world from the office.
Electrical construction sites are completely different from office work, which makes them very interesting.
I joined the company as an administrative employee, and after training in Osaka, I returned to the Sapporo branch and worked on drawings.
However, I felt that it was difficult to fully understand site work only through office tasks, so I was given opportunities to learn directly on-site.
The site was a completely different world from the office — very fresh and exciting, with many discoveries.
When someone asked me, “Why don’t you try working in construction management?” I wanted to challenge myself, and I eventually started going to sites as a construction manager.
There are still few women in electrical construction in Hokkaido, and sometimes craftsmen are surprised, but people at the sites are very warm and supportive.
Each site has different people and teams, and I find it fascinating to work with people from various generations and backgrounds. -
I hope more women will work at our job sites in the future.
I hope to see more women working on our construction sites.
Construction sites are constantly changing. Commissioning tests can be nerve-wracking. There are busy periods and site-specific challenges, but I feel a greater sense of fulfillment than when I was only drawing in the office.
Because construction work is team-based, during busy times I can ask people from other sites for help. The fact that I can rely on others when I’m in trouble is very reassuring.
When a site I was in charge of was completed and shown on the news, my family recognized it and told me about it. That made me very happy.
I learned that electrical construction is involved in so many places.
Office work is important, but once you step outside, there is a fascinating world waiting.
I want to show that women can play active roles on our construction sites. -

Creating work environments and processes that make it easier for technicians to work, drawing plans, giving instructions, and leading projects to completion.
O.TConstruction Management/Tokyo Head Office
-
This job involves thinking through how a project should progress on site and giving instructions accordingly.
I graduated from a junior college, where I studied electrical engineering and mainly learned circuit-related subjects. I liked electrical subjects because they have clear answers and are easy to understand logically. I first became interested in Asami Electric when a recruiter visited my university career seminar and we connected well. I didn’t fully understand what construction management involved at first, but after joining the company, I gained experience at the Tokyo head office before moving on to site work. In the beginning, I followed instructions from supervisors and senior staff, but as I gained experience, I found it interesting to think for myself and decide how to move projects forward.
-
I feel relieved when lighting tests are completed successfully.
Construction management involves coordinating with site teams and partner companies, creating work environments and schedules, explaining drawings to technicians, and giving instructions to build electrical systems. Toward the end of each project, there is a lighting test. If everything goes well, the lights turn on instantly. Sometimes they don’t, which can be frustrating, but when they do, it’s very rewarding. Many of the technicians on site are highly experienced, but they support and encourage younger staff like me and teach us a lot. Once you build good relationships, the site becomes a very enjoyable place to work.
-
Your academic background does not matter, and the company supports qualification acquisition.
I studied business-related subjects in high school, so I rarely use what I learned back then directly in my work now. Since you learn step by step from senior staff, I believe what you studied before does not limit you. Even people from non-technical backgrounds can succeed here. Many colleagues also come from sports backgrounds. You can obtain national electrical qualifications after joining, and the company provides materials and tools for study. This job allows you to coordinate with many people, move projects forward in your own way, and see the satisfaction of clients and technicians — which is what makes it truly rewarding.

Even when you’re young, if you step forward, you’ll be trusted with responsibility.
You can express your individuality through your work.H.TConstruction Management/Hamamatsu Branch

I realized that electrical construction will remain essential to society.
At university, I studied materials engineering, including how lightning occurs and cable damage mechanisms. Since I’m from Hamamatsu, I wanted to work locally. Around the time I encountered Asami Electric, people were starting to ask, “What jobs will remain in the age of AI?” I believed electricity would always be essential to society, and electrical construction would always be needed. At that time, I had a vague image that construction management meant not doing hands-on work.
-
You can oversee a project from the very beginning to the very end.
My one year of site training in Osaka was full of new experiences. What I learned at school was rarely directly useful, but that was normal for everyone. I built my knowledge while asking questions and learning through real work. My first project was a large-scale site, and I was able to experience the entire process from start to finish. That helped me truly understand how buildings are completed. The site atmosphere was excellent, and partner company technicians welcomed younger staff like me warmly. Construction sites bring together professionals from many different fields, such as equipment specialists. However, being able to follow a project from start to finish is something mainly construction and electrical teams can do, and electrical work plays a very important role.
-
There is a culture of freedom, where you can show your individuality through your work.
One of the best things about our company is that if you raise your hand, you’ll be trusted with responsibility, even when you’re young. Once you become a site supervisor, you can express your own style and judgment in how you manage work. Because of our open culture, people from other companies often say it looks like a fun place to work. What I value most in my work is making it easy for others to do their jobs. Since I stand between different teams on site, I adjust how I give instructions depending on the people doing the work. At the same time, I take full responsibility as the site representative. Being aware of that responsibility is important, and it’s also what makes this job rewarding and interesting.

I was drawn to the stability of a company that has continued for over 100 years.
I studied electrical and electronic engineering at university and learned the fundamentals of electricity. I also played baseball in high school and continued enjoying it in university clubs. When I was job hunting, I wanted to work in infrastructure-related industries that would continue to be needed in the future. At first, I wasn’t specifically considering the electrical construction industry, but company information sessions helped me understand many different industries. I was introduced to Asami Electric through my university career center. Seeing that the company has continued for more than 100 years and felt very stable, I decided to join.
-
After about six months, I became comfortable working on site.
I joined the company without a clear image of what construction management work involved. However, during the first two months of training, I learned the basics and clearly understood what construction management means. Although I had studied electricity in general at university, electrical construction was still a new field for me, so I felt like I was starting from scratch. At the Nagoya branch, younger employees often handle electrical work projects for convenience stores. In the beginning, there were many things I didn’t understand and I struggled, but after one to two months I got used to it, and after about six months I became comfortable working on site. Most site workers are senior craftsmen, but many are very kind and willing to teach. They often look out for us, and I try to create a comfortable and positive working environment on site as well.
-
I enjoy watching a site change day by day as it moves toward completion.
It feels great to see a building completed based on the drawings and instructions I created. It’s a rewarding job. I think it’s a great fit for people who enjoy manufacturing or building things, and for those who enjoy seeing a site change and progress toward completion every day. The convenience stores I currently work on include both new construction and renovation of existing stores, and I’ve been in charge of many locations. Sometimes I even notice stores I was involved in while riding the train or walking through town. Being involved in buildings used by the general public makes me feel that my work contributes to society, which makes me very happy. The Nagoya branch has many young employees and a bright, energetic atmosphere. If you are even slightly interested, please consider joining one of our company information sessions.

I draw out customers’ needs and translate them into design drawings.
I majored in electrical engineering at university, but I spent most of my time playing baseball in an athletic club, so I was almost always focused on sports. I joined this company through a connection with a senior member from my university club. When I first joined, I honestly didn’t have a clear understanding of what electrical construction work involved (laughs). During my first year, I experienced several job sites during training in Osaka. In my second year, I returned to the Kyushu branch and began handling sites on my own. Since we build facilities for customers, I focus on carefully drawing out their needs and translating them into actual construction. It’s very rewarding to see those needs reflected in drawings and then brought to life on site. The duration of projects depends on their scale, but many last around six months to one year.
-
Greater responsibility leads to greater fulfillment and interest in the work.
One project that left a strong impression on me was a 12-story hotel I worked on in my third year. It had 242 rooms, so I constantly thought about how to minimize mistakes while managing the project. People on site call me the “site representative,” which means I’m acting on behalf of Asami Electric and leading the project. From outside companies’ perspectives, it’s like I represent the company itself. That responsibility can be heavy, but it also makes the work more rewarding and meaningful. Construction sites bring together professionals from architecture, equipment, electrical work, and many other fields. Even in meetings with other trades, I approach my work with the mindset of leading the electrical side forward.
-
I want to contribute more to training and supporting younger employees.
Recently, I’ve also been focusing on training younger employees. It makes me very happy when employees who worked under me grow and become independent. This job is very people-oriented, so communication skills are important regardless of your academic background. What you studied before joining the company doesn’t matter much. You’ll learn everything you need after joining. Our company has a close relationship between younger employees, senior staff, and supervisors, making it easy to ask questions and talk openly. I think younger employees should actively ask questions and learn as much as possible. Managing and advancing a project based on your own decisions as a site representative is one of the most interesting parts of this job.

Construction management responsible for schedule, safety, quality, and cost control.
Even if you come from a non-technical background, you can succeed here.A.TConstruction Management/Osaka Head Office

Joined the company with confidence, even from a non-technical background.
I graduated from a non-technical (liberal arts) background, but since a senior from my university was already working here successfully, I joined without too much anxiety. The company supports qualification study and training after joining, and little by little you gain the technical knowledge needed for electrical construction, so there’s no need to worry. At construction sites, you have many opportunities to talk with different people, so communication skills are very important. Don’t be afraid to ask questions when you don’t understand something—just ask. Seniors in my office are easy to talk to and supportive, which makes the workplace very comfortable.
-
Construction managers do not perform on-site installation work themselves.
Let me explain what construction management actually does. In this role, we don’t perform electrical installation work ourselves. Instead, we support the technicians working on site. One key responsibility is schedule management—coordinating with architects, equipment contractors, and other trades so electrical work can proceed smoothly. Next is safety management—ensuring workers can perform tasks safely and intervening if any dangerous work is being done.
-
I aim to obtain professional certifications and become a site manager in the future.
We are also responsible for quality management. Since site conditions often require adjustments, we create construction drawings based on design drawings, confirm work is completed according to those drawings, and ensure overall quality. We also manage project budgets and costs. Through this job, I learn something new every day while working on electrical construction sites, which I find very rewarding. In the future, I want to obtain more qualifications and become a site manager capable of leading projects independently. We welcome people who are bright, positive, and enjoy communicating with others.
