Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A rebar assembler is a specialist who cuts and bends rebar and assembles and secures it according to drawings to ensure the strength of architectural and civil engineering structures.
Description
Rebar assemblers transport rebar to the site based on design drawings, cut and bend it at appropriate positions, and assemble and fix it using binding wire or welding. There is a lot of work at heights or in confined spaces, so work management using safety harnesses and scaffolding, and safety checks are important. Since it directly affects the quality of the structure after concrete pouring, accurate rebar placement and work efficiency are both required.
Future Outlook
Demand is expected to remain stable with the increase in infrastructure development and redevelopment projects. Due to ongoing labor shortages, improvements in working conditions for skilled workers and productivity enhancements through ICT utilization are anticipated.
