The Path of a Supervising Engineer

Shindashi-man releases new album
"The Path of the Supervising Engineer."

Reading drawings.
Following the process.
Maintaining quality.
Never stopping safety.
And accepting most of the "I didn't hear about this" moments that happen on site.

This work is an album depicting the conflicts, decisions, loneliness, and pride of supervising engineers who bear responsibility at public construction sites.

A supervising engineer is not just someone who puts their name on the site.
Main contractors, subcontractors, clients, designers, on-site workers.
Amid the intersection of each person's positions and intentions, they are the ones who continually make decisions to keep the core of the construction on track.

Change negotiations, construction plans, inspections, photo management, quality checks, safety management, responding to audits.
When things go well, it's expected.
If something happens, their name comes up first.
In such a position with little room to escape, they still guide the site to completion. This is celebrated with the melancholy and on-site sensibility unique to Shindashi-man.

The path of the supervising engineer.
It is not a flashy path.
But if no one walks it responsibly, the site will never be completed.
