What does a rebar ironworker do?

A rebar ironworker, also known as a rodbuster, works in construction to reinforce the bars of a structure. As a rebar ironworker, you tie bars together with tie wire and pour concrete over them to create a solid structure. Your responsibilities may have you unloading materials, carrying steel to various parts of the construction site, performing rod assembly, cutting steel, placing a cable, and ensuring a building has the proper reinforcement and meets construction standards and regulations. You handle various tools, such as pliers, tie wire reels, rebar hooks, and rodbuster bags, to complete your duties. You may also operate a forklift, scissor lift, or man lift.
