MDOT construction field operations staff have not broadly embraced 3D technology, project PDFs concepts, or incorporated
asset collection practices largely due to a lack of workforce education and training. Engineer and technical field staff skillsets
widely vary in preparation for use of these technologies and practices. Training opportunities are often restricted to on-the-job
learning and growth potential through exposure and learning with consultant staff field support, thus bridging knowledge gaps.
Construction field staff training typically lags in comparison to the contracting and consultant industries. Training in the field or
on-the-job has not been sustainable as opportunities to use knowledge gained year to year creates a population of construction
field staff with varying levels of proficiency which in turn yields limited project management consistency and alignment within the
Department. Simple and effective training tools are needed to increase the knowledge base of construction field staff to support
sustainable construction field operation practices. Core competency development with software and hardware technologies is
necessary to realize the benefits of digital technology. MDOT’s staffing should have exposure to digital technologies as the
standard for construction field operations through education and training. |
