Job Description

Have you always been fascinated by the density of materials in physics? Are you interested in diverse workplaces, from roofs to subway shafts? Then become a building waterproofing specialist! The name of the profession says it all. Your tasks encompass everything related to waterproofing surfaces (for example, for traffic such as subway shafts), buildings (for example, roofs, terraces), structures (for example, bridges, tunnels), and facilities (for example, landfills), from assessment and testing to execution. This makes you a true protector of buildings, surfaces, and other structures from moisture and water. As a building waterproofing specialist, you'll work in specialized companies for building protection, insulation, waterproofing technology, and building renovation, as well as in companies that construct bridges, roads, or tunnels, depending on your interests.
