Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Steel material measuring workers measure the length, thickness, shape, etc., of steel materials and inspect and record whether they conform to drawings and specifications.
Description
Steel material measuring workers use calipers, micrometers, laser measures, etc., to measure the dimensions of steel materials used in manufacturing, construction, and civil engineering. They record measurement results on inspection sheets or in systems, identify and report non-standard products, read dimensional tolerances from drawings, manage quality before and after cutting and processing, and also handle adjustments between manufacturers and sites. The work is primarily standing and requires accuracy and efficiency.
Future Outlook
Even as manufacturing becomes more automated and digitalized, the demand for on-site high-precision measurement remains stable, and expectations for measurement technicians are increasing with the advent of smart factories.
