Steel Fixer

You cut and bend rebar on the site bending table to the bar schedule, then place and tie it in foundations, slabs, walls and columns with a tying hook or a battery tier. Each morning the foreman gives the crew the drawing sections for the day, and you check bar diameters, spacing and concrete cover with a tape and spacers before the formwork carpenters close the shutters. Before each pour the site engineer inspects the cage with you. The crew works Monday to Friday, 07:00-15:30, plus every second Saturday 07:00-13:00 paid at the overtime rate, on sites in Jug II and nearby districts.
