Work hours can vary based on project deadlines, and overtime is sometimes expected. Many employers offer opportunities to advance into supervisory roles or specialize in areas such as project management or quality control. Having strong teamwork and communication skills helps ensure efficient progress and a safe environment for everyone involved.
