Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized trade that processes and assembles rebar used in civil engineering structures to ensure the strength of concrete structures.
Description
Rebar assemblers (civil engineering) read rebar from construction drawings for use in civil engineering structures such as bridges, roads, and tunnels, perform cutting and bending processes, and then carry out rebar placement, binding, and fixing work. On site, they collaborate with crane and slinging operations, ensure safety, and efficiently advance work. Even after concrete placement, they check for any displacement in rebar positions and thoroughly manage quality.
Future Outlook
Repair and renewal works due to aging infrastructure are increasing, and demand is stable or increasing. Shortage of skilled workers is an issue, and young talent development and productivity improvement are required.
