About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Experienced in the art (and muscle) of shaping steel into solid, reliable structures? We’re looking for a Reinforced Steel Fixer—sometimes known as a Reinforced Steel Carpenter—to join our team right away. In this hands-on role, you’ll put your know-how to good use, building the frameworks that Dubai stands on, all while earning a fixed monthly salary and enjoying a steady, predictable work schedule. If you thrive on technical precision and take pride in seeing your work form the backbone of major projects, this is your chance to make a visible impact—and get rewarded for it.
About the Company
We’re a locally established construction firm with a reputation for getting the job done—on time, on spec, and with a genuine respect for our skilled workforce. Our team? It’s a community of tradespeople from across the country who value honest work, shared accomplishments, and a bit of friendly banter during tea breaks. Friday lunches together are a small tradition, and you’ll never struggle to find guidance or support from those who’ve “seen it all.” We believe that investing in the well-being and growth of our crew is non-negotiable. When you succeed, so does the company.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Crafting, laying out, and securing steel bars and mesh in place to reinforce concrete for foundations, columns, beams, and slabs.
- Reading, interpreting, and executing technical drawings and rebar schedules—down to each bend and cut.
- Measuring, cutting, bending, and fixing rebar using hand and power tools, all while keeping a sharp eye on safety.
- Inspecting reinforced structures during and after installation to ensure compliance with both project specifications and industry standards.
- Collaborating closely with site supervisors, engineers, and fellow fixers to keep work progressing smoothly.
- Troubleshooting onsite surprises with a practical, can-do attitude—whether that means adapting an installation method or solving logistical snags.
- Keeping your tools organized, workspace tidy, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks (literally and figuratively).
- Training junior team members when needed, passing along hard-won tips, and helping raise the whole crew’s standards.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Minimum 3 years of reinforced steel fixing/carpenter experience within the UAE construction industry.
- Deep knowledge of reinforcement techniques, local codes, and best practices.
- Able to read and interpret technical drawings and schedules independently.

- Team spirit, reliability, and a willingness to lend a hand wherever needed.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience training or supervising others on site.
- Familiarity with common digital site-reporting or tracking tools.
