Rodbuster (Rebar Installer)

About this role

Join a heavy-civil crew based in Marshall, NC as a rodbuster working on bridge and highway projects across Florida. You’ll tie and place rebar in footings, columns, pier caps, decks, approach slabs, and concrete barriers. This is outdoor, hands-on work under a foreman where safety, quality, and staying on schedule matter. You must have field rebar experience, reliable transportation, and the ability to lift up to 75 lbs. Expect a fast-paced team environment, site-specific safety training, and opportunities to develop your craft and advance with industry assessments and certifications.

What you'll do

• • Tie and place reinforcing steel for bridge footings, columns, pier caps, decks, approach slabs, and barrier walls
• • Carry, position, mark, and bend heavy rebar (10–60 ft lengths) and bundles by hand or as part of a lift team
• • Secure intersections and cages using tie wire and pliers; tie in-place for slabs, columns, and walls
• • Use paint/keel to mark bars for cutting, placement, or tying; follow design drawings and foreman direction
• • Load/unload and stage rebar bundles on site; assist with rigging, hoisting, and setting rebar cages as instructed
• • Follow all site safety rules, report unsafe conditions, and stop work when hazards are observed

What we're looking for

• • Minimum 6 months documented field rebar (rodbusting) experience — ironwork-only experience is not sufficient
• • 18+ years old, able to work at heights and outdoors in varying weather
• • Reliable transportation to and from job sites and ability to travel for projects across Florida
• • Able to lift and carry up to 75 lbs consistently and handle long lengths of rebar
• • Basic rodbusting hand tools and willingness to maintain them
• • Read and follow written and verbal instructions, work under a foreman, and contribute to keeping the job on schedule

Qualifications

• • NCCER certification or equivalent craft certification preferred
• • Legally authorized to work in the United States (E-Verify employer)
• • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• • Ability to understand and communicate basic English instructions
• • Access to basic rodbusting tools and willingness to maintain them
• • Minimum of 6 months documented field rebar experience

What we offer

• • Health insurance available after 90 days of employment
• • 401(k) eligibility after one year on the job
• • Hands-on safety and craft training with advancement opportunities
• • Opportunity for increased pay with successful completion of NCCER assessment
