Most core tasks involve skilled manual work, safety-critical decisions, and on-site problem solving, which are resistant to full automation. However, administrative, documentation, and compliance aspects are increasingly supported or replaced by digital tools, and route planning/logistics can be optimized with AI. Overall, the role is moderately exposed to AI augmentation but has a low risk of full automation.
