Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized worker who cuts, bends, ties rebar, and places and secures it according to design drawings to ensure the strength of civil engineering structures.
Description
Rebar construction workers (civil engineering) handle rebar placement for civil engineering structures such as bridges, tunnels, and revetments. They read rebar placement drawings, cut and bend process the rebar, and fix it in designated positions using tie wires and tools. The work includes construction at heights and in confined spaces, requiring safety harnesses and scaffolding. They collaborate with construction managers and other trades to adhere to schedules and comply with quality and safety standards.
Future Outlook
Stable job demand is expected due to infrastructure development and aging infrastructure countermeasures. While labor shortages persist, efficiency gains from ICT and mechanization are advancing, with potential wage increases depending on workers' skill proficiency.
