You would work on various developments including commercial and industrial units, multi-storey housing and civil engineering projects like roadworks, tunnels and bridges. On most jobs, your tasks would include:
setting out the work area, following engineering plans
using hand and power tools to cut and bend bars or mesh
tying rebar (reinforcement bars) together with wire, clips or welds to build up cages or sections
fitting spacers and chairs (supports)
fixing the formwork and shuttering used to hold setting concrete in place
joining cages and sections
fixing steel to concrete bases
installing beams and pre-cast slabs.
