Applicants must have previous steel-fixing experience.

You must be able to read and understand RC drawings and use those drawings to correctly set out and install reinforcement.

You should have a good practical understanding of reinforcement including bar diameters, laps, anchorage, cover, spacing, chairs, links, starter bars and couplers.

You must also be confident tying reinforcement and be able to produce neat, secure and accurate work at a good rate of productivity.

Experience working on reinforced concrete frames, basements, foundations and other structural concrete projects is strongly preferred.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for steel fixers who take pride in their work and understand that reinforcement must be installed correctly.

You should be able to look at an RC drawing, understand what is required and carry out the work accurately.

We particularly value people who can identify when something does not look right rather than simply continuing with the work.

You will be expected to work well as part of a team, follow instructions from supervisors and engineers and maintain good productivity while ensuring that the reinforcement is installed in accordance with the drawings.

Applicants should be reliable, punctual and willing to work across different Konform projects as required.
