Struggling with Job Descriptions in Construction? Seeking Advice on Where to Start

First of all, you must know the purpose for which you need a job description. Generally, in most Indian companies, job descriptions are written to justify employees' positions and salaries. However, there is often no proper connection established between the job description and salary, or in other words, no mechanism is used to define the job description.

A job description is a tool that results from the job analysis exercise, and you have to conduct interviews and prepare questionnaires for each position. Then, decide on the number of factors that you feel are appropriate for compensation and will be the factors considered for compensation.

For example:

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

Job Family: Administration

Department: XYZ

Group/Division: Group or Division

PRINCIPAL CONTACTS

1. Reports to: His Boss
2. Responsible for: List of people he is responsible for, or None
Other Links: All levels throughout

General Summary

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

PHYSICAL EFFORT & WORK ENVIRONMENT

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

You have to decide on the number of factors to determine the distribution of points for job weightages, etc., for job evaluations based on these factors to evaluate the relevant market worth of the job to determine compensation and place it within the appropriate salary grade.

I understand this may not be your current requirement, but follow the format above just to record the nature of the job and its duties.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT COPY ANY READYMADE JOB DESCRIPTIONS FROM WEBSITES; THEY DO NOT BELONG TO YOU. THEIR DEFINED NORMS MAY NOT FIT YOUR COMPANY'S NEEDS AS THE JOBS THEY DESCRIBE MAY NOT MATCH YOURS.

MOST OF THE SURFERS OFFERING COPY-PASTE SERVICES ARE NOT USEFUL AND DO NOT ADD VALUE TO YOUR EXPERIENCE.
