Sergio Kot Israel @Obvious 08:08 Jul 20, 2018  One indisputable fact about this question is that it awakens quite a bit of speculation. Naturally, the obvious way to solve the issue is to ask the client... isn't it? Charles Davis Spain 22:21 Jul 19, 2018  It doesn't need to involve work on roadways; you still need flagmen on a closed construction site if there are vehicles or machinery moving around, as there virtually always will be: it's a health and safety requirement. Needless to say it's a pretty humble position requiring no great skill or previous study. S Ben Price Spain ASKER 17:05 Jul 19, 2018  It's for "control structures". It's power generation. There is no direct indication that this involves work on roadways. Sergio Kot Israel @Please see here 12:41 Jul 19, 2018  http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=pale... Sergio Kot Israel @ S Ben Price 12:38 Jul 19, 2018  Could you please clarify whether it's a building or a road-paving project? S Ben Price Spain ASKER 12:36 Jul 19, 2018  There is no indication that it is for a roadway. It does mention civil works, so it could possibly involve dealing with traffic. S Ben Price Spain ASKER 12:35 Jul 19, 2018  I now think it might be Chilean Spanish. Sergio Kot Israel @Taña 12:30 Jul 19, 2018  That reference would be relevant should it be certain that the construction project refers to a road or highway. Which I doubt. Maybe the asker can clarify that. Taña Dalglish Jamaica 11:58 Jul 19, 2018  https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/transport_tran...

Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster) disagree  Laura Jimenez: I think it refers to a person, not to a tool 1 hr   -> Yes, trowel certainly refers to a tool, but "paleteros" refers to those who work with a "paleta", i.e a trowel. It's up to the linguist how to correctly formulate it im the target language. Did you look at the refs I posted?
