Summary
A job that involves marking (scribing) lines on steel materials based on drawings prior to processing, drawing reference lines for cutting and drilling on the material.
Description
Steel marking workers use tools such as straightedges, chalk, ink pots, and scribing needles to accurately mark dimension lines and processing positions on steel materials based on design drawings and work instructions. High attention to detail and work accuracy are required. After marking, the process proceeds to cutting, drilling, welding, and other steps. The work is mainly standing in factories or processing sites, and handling heavy steel materials makes safety management important.
Future Outlook
Demand is flat to slightly decreasing due to production trends in the steel industry and the introduction of automation technology. While high-precision and automated marking machines are being introduced, there will continue to be steady demand for the delicacy of manual work.
