I have many years experience in this industry and is a educated roofer, or yaneya (spelled right?) as it is called in Japan hehe

But a Japanese roofer is not the same as the ones here in Norway I think and my language skill in Japanese is so so (working on it). There are many foreigners working here in Norway and most of them have a very limited English skill and are mostly assistants for people like me or just hired to do simple work where there is need for some muscle power haha! So I was thinking of something similar for me but in Japan.

Well if anyone knows anything about this please let me know ok?

Thanks for reading!

I am not an expert in this area, but I would imagine that construction site MAY hire an english speaking engineer or project manager if the project is like a gian project for Hotels and stuff, but otherwise, there is no reason why they would want to hire you instead of a local experienced worker. The other thing you have to remember is that, people at the site will have difficulties communicating with you, so its my guess that their preference will be to hire someone local
