Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A craftsman who processes, assembles, and places rebar used in concrete structures at construction sites.
Description
Civil engineering rebar workers process and assemble rebar used in concrete structures at construction sites, forming the framework of structures through rebar placement work. Main tasks include reading rebar drawings, cutting and bending rebar, measuring required dimensions, on-site assembly, welding, tying, and inspections for safety and quality. They work in varying site environments and collaborate with other trades (such as formwork carpenters, concrete workers, and civil engineering construction managers). The job involves a lot of high-altitude and outdoor work, requiring physical stamina to handle harsh weather conditions and heavy materials, as well as a strong safety awareness.
Future Outlook
Due to stable infrastructure development and construction demand, the demand for rebar workers is expected to remain stable. On the other hand, with the aging of skilled workers progressing, the development of young talent and the mechanization and labor-saving of work are future challenges.
