Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job involving cutting, processing, and assembling steel framing (studs, channels, angles, etc.) used to attach interior materials such as plasterboard in construction work.
Description
Steel substrate assembly workers are specialists who assemble steel materials that serve as the base for attaching plasterboard or gypsum board as a pre-finishing stage in construction sites. They read drawings, measure dimensions, cut and process steel using nibblers or power tools, drill pilot holes, and secure with bolts, nuts, and self-drilling screws. The work often involves high places and confined spaces, requiring teamwork. Since work accuracy directly affects the finishing quality, precise dimension control and safety awareness are essential.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to increasing renovation needs and interior construction in commercial facilities. Although there is a trend toward prefabrication and factory production for efficiency, the need for on-site fine adjustments and skilled technicians is expected to continue.
