JOB DESCRIPTION
– REBAR ENGINEER / MANAGER / FOREMAN

Position Title: Rebar Engineer / Rebar Manager / Rebar Foreman
Department / Function: Project Execution – Reinforcement / Rebar
Cadre: Applicable across all cadres
Position Reports To: Project Manager / Construction Manager / Reinforcement Manager / Project Head, as applicable

1. Job Purpose

To plan, coordinate, supervise and execute reinforcement activities for civil and structural construction works, ensuring accurate interpretation of structural drawings, preparation and implementation of Bar Bending Schedules (BBS), optimum utilisation of reinforcement steel, timely deployment of manpower and resources, and achievement of planned productivity, quality and safety standards.

The role covers the complete reinforcement cycle, including drawing review, quantity estimation, BBS preparation and verification, steel procurement coordination, material receipt and storage, cutting, bending, fabrication, placing, fixing, inspection, reconciliation and execution monitoring in accordance with approved drawings, specifications and project schedules.

2. Key Accountabilities

A. Drawing Review and Technical Coordination

Study and interpret approved structural drawings, reinforcement details, general arrangement drawings, bar schedules and technical specifications. Understand reinforcement requirements for foundations, pile caps, rafts, columns, beams, slabs, shear walls, core walls, retaining walls, staircases and other structural elements. Review reinforcement drawings for bar diameters, grades, spacing, lap lengths, development lengths, anchorage, cover, curtailment, hooks,



bends and other detailing requirements. Identify discrepancies, missing details, drawing conflicts and reinforcement-related constructability issues and coordinate with the Design / Engineering team for clarification. Ensure that reinforcement work is carried out strictly in accordance with approved structural drawings, specifications and instructions from the authorised engineering team. Coordinate with Design, Planning, Civil Execution, QA/QC and other relevant departments for timely resolution of technical issues. Review reinforcement requirements in relation to construction methodology, pour sequences, work-front availability and execution priorities. Ensure that any proposed changes or deviations in reinforcement arrangements are referred to the authorised Design / Engineering team for approval before implementation. Provide technical guidance to site teams, supervisors, foremen and workmen for correct interpretation and implementation of reinforcement details.

B. Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) and Quantity Management

Prepare, review, verify and implement Bar Bending Schedules based on approved structural drawings and project requirements, as applicable to the role. Ensure accurate calculation of reinforcement quantities, bar lengths, cutting lengths,



shapes, bends, hooks, laps and wastage allowances. Coordinate BBS preparation and approval with the Design, Engineering and Project Execution teams. Verify reinforcement quantities against drawings, BOQ, approved BBS and actual site requirements. Prepare reinforcement consumption statements and estimates for different structural elements and work fronts. Identify opportunities for optimisation of bar lengths, cutting patterns and steel utilisation without compromising approved design requirements. Ensure proper documentation and revision control of BBS and reinforcement drawings. Monitor actual steel consumption against theoretical quantities and approved norms. Analyse variations in reinforcement consumption and identify reasons for excess consumption, wastage or discrepancies. Maintain records of reinforcement quantities planned, received, issued, fabricated, fixed and balance stock.

C. Reinforcement Planning and Resource Management

Prepare reinforcement execution plans in line with the overall project schedule, construction sequence and concreting programme. Plan reinforcement manpower, skilled workers, bar benders, fitters, helpers, fabrication facilities, machinery, tools and tackles. Coordinate with Planning and Civil Execution teams to ensure timely availability of reinforcement drawings, materials and work fronts. Plan reinforcement activities for foundations, substructure, superstructure, slabs, beams, columns, shear walls, core walls and other structural components. Ensure adequate deployment of reinfo
