Job description:


*tuition fees are for the entire training course.

The emergence of the profession of fitter was facilitated by technical progress in construction and the production of building materials. The profession has become widespread due to the use of reinforced concrete and steel products.

Fittings (from lat. armatura - weapons, equipment) are called auxiliary devices and parts that are not part of the main parts of structures, structures or machines, but ensure their correct operation.

In construction, reinforcement is the steel frame of reinforced concrete structures. Reinforced concrete can be used to make various products, from bridges to sculptures. It is difficult to work with this material, so the profession of fitter is purely male. Reinforced concrete is used in the construction of residential buildings, roads, industrial, sports facilities, etc. Armorers work with reinforced concrete. They create metal frames that will later be used in reinforced concrete structures. These frames of steel bars are poured with concrete, and the result is reinforced concrete.

The main activities of the fitter:

  • laying reinforcement in racks, cleaning from rust, sorting by diameters and grades;
  • rebar carrying by hand;
  • bending and cutting of reinforcement on manual, mechanical and automatic machines;
  • fastening of reinforcement by manual knitting;
  • storage of reinforcing structures;
  • installation of reinforcement from rods, fastening of embedded parts;

Skilled workers are always in demand, and the fitters are no exception. Of course, young professionals will not be offered large salaries (on average 15,000 - 20,000 rubles a month), but employers are ready to pay experienced employees 45,000 - 50,000 rubles each. In order to get more, you need to constantly improve your knowledge, increase your rank and gain work experience. Therefore, the best offers on working conditions are received by steelworkers of the 6th category with solid experience.

Education

A fitter can be educated both in secondary schools and universities. Basic knowledge is taught in institutions of primary and secondary vocational education in specialized educational institutions.

There are professions that, at first glance, seem very prosaic, but they are quite important and even have a certain amount of romance. Reinforcement worker is a profession that belongs to this group. Its importance cannot be disputed, although not every person will be able to perform the tasks assigned to her.

Description of the profession

The main scope of work of a reinforcing engineer consists in the manufacture, laying in a mold or direct installation of reinforced concrete structures or reinforcing cages. All these works are carried out in several successive stages.

First of all, the fitter gets acquainted with the drawings and determines which type of reinforcing steel will be most suitable for a particular product. After that, the fitter performs the blanks of the rods. To do this, he needs to unwind and stretch the reinforcing steel using electric winches, and then cut and bend using drive machines.

After that, the fitter needs to perform the following types of work:

  1. Collection and design of reinforcing meshes and frames from prepared rods using electric welding.
  2. Installation of fittings from individual rods in locks, suction pipes, under-generator type structures, foundations of turbogenerators, bunkers, galleries, columns of superstructures, arches and connections between them.
  3. Marking the location of fittings in slab bases, ribbed and beamless ceilings, flights of stairs, spans of bridges according to the drawings.

A rebar fitter is a worker who performs the installation of complex spatial frames from reinforcement, as well as reinforcing formwork blocks. The work of installing and fixing these elements falls on his shoulders. Also, the range of main tasks and responsibilities includes the prestressing of reinforcing bundles and rods.

Where fitters are in demand

Before starting work on a vacancy for a fitter, you need to know exactly where specialists in this field can be in demand. It is also worth considering that the work of a fitter is directly related to hard physical labor, so it is considered to be one of the male professions.

An armaturer is a specialist who is in demand at enterprises whose work is related to the manufacture of reinforced concrete structures. Also fitters are in demand in construction organizations. The latter can post vacancies for a fitter if the range of activities includes repair and construction and construction and installation work. The profession is classified into categories from 1 to 6.

What a fitter should know

The fitter is a profession that requires a certain range of knowledge from the applicant. Without their presence, a person will not be able to fulfill his immediate professional duties.

To master this by no means simple profession, a fairly wide range of knowledge is required, namely:

  1. The main types of reinforcing steel and fittings.
  2. Rules and methods for cutting and unwinding steel.
  3. The device of machines used for the preparation of rods from reinforcement.

For friends!

Reference

The profession of fitter appeared in the 19th century. And this is due to the beginning of the era of reinforced concrete and steel structures, when in the construction of industrial buildings, residential buildings, water supply and sewerage facilities, etc. began to use rigid reinforcement and concrete.

A reinforced concrete structure is obtained as follows: a structure is erected from reinforcement, iron columns and beams, and all this is poured with concrete. It turns out reinforced concrete. What is it further used for? For a variety of things: it can be a detail of a future building, bridge, road, and even a sculpture. By and large, a fitter is a bit of both, and, and a builder.

Description of activity

Fitting worker - indispensable at the construction site. The strength of the concrete slab, panel, stairs, or even piles (piles make up the foundation) will depend on how he makes the metal frame. Reinforcement is the basis of the future

building. Unscrupulous performance of work by a fitter endangers the life and health of other people.

The process of manufacturing a frame (reinforcement) is as follows: first, the fitter prepares a drawing of the future structure, gives the desired shape and bends to the metal, and then gives orders and recommendations. After the welder "welds" all the details of the frame, the fitter cuts off the excess on a special machine and gives it back. Next, the reinforcement is poured, dried and a finished concrete product is obtained. Sometimes the fitter carries out the whole process himself, and in this case he is qualified as a “rebar-concrete fitter”.

Often the work of the fitter takes place at high altitude, and with any careless movement, he may fall. To prevent this from happening, he works in a helmet, a vest with reflective elements and puts on a safety belt.

There are other dangers that warn this specialist. Working at height is a constant wind and dust flying into your eyes. Therefore, steelworkers often experience visual impairment, eye and respiratory diseases. Added to this is the fact that the construction of facilities lasts several months, or even years. During this time, the fitter has to work in the rain, and in the snow, and in severe frosts. Therefore, a runny nose and a cold are also on the list of occupational diseases.

The danger for the fitter can be ignorance of safety regulations for the use of working tools: for example, on a rebar cutting machine there are very sharp knives that move at high speed. Such a unit must be handled with care, otherwise the fitter risks being left without any limb.

The fitter can work both on a permanent basis and on a rotational basis. For example, before the construction of the facilities of the Olympic village in Sochi (including fitters) they recruited from other cities. For the period of work, the construction company provided employees with housing, and at the end they went home. This is the shift method. To date, this way of working is chosen by many fitters.

In other cases, work takes place in accordance with the schedule (for example, 2 days of work and 2 days of rest) and in shifts (shift duration is about 8 to 10 hours).

Job responsibilities

At the beginning of the working day, the fitter prepares the tools and materials necessary for work (they are sorted by grades and diameters). Receives a job from or the main object.

Then he gets to work. The armaturer makes drawings of complex reinforcing cages, collects them. Takes into account instructions and recommendations, whose task is to give shape to the future product. Prepares parts for welding - cuts on a cutting machine and gives them the necessary shape. Then the fitter gives the frame parts for welding, controls this process as far as possible.

Features of career growth

There is a qualification system for fitters. The more a specialist knows and knows how, the more he is assigned a rank. For example, a fitter-handyman has 1 rank. Specialists of the 2nd category know the types of reinforcing steel, they know how to cut and bend it. With high-quality work, you can get the maximum category (up to 7th), and there is an opportunity to become a foreman - the head of a group of reinforcing workers.

Highly qualified, experienced fitters will always be in demand in the labor market.

Employee characteristic

The work of a fitter is most suitable for men. It is designed for hardy people. It is necessary to have sufficient physical strength to work with metal rods, which must be connected in a certain order. This is a job for patient and very hardworking people. In addition, one must be able to work in a team, since usually this is a brigade job.

Sometimes you need to do some welding. The complexity of the activity lies in the fact that you need to have good visual perception, be able to concentrate, because the welding process is far from fast, in addition, everything must be done very high quality, because then the building structure will be based on the finished reinforcement.

There are professions that you often hear about, but few people know what their functionality is. Let's look at who the fitter is and what he does. Let's give a description, what kind of fitter is this, let's talk about its pros and cons, whether it is interesting for children and whether they dream about it.

To give a precise definition, we turned to Wikipedia, from which it became known that these are people who, having undergone special training and become specialists in the construction and production of building materials, help other specialists get their material for work at a construction site. More simply - the fitter makes fittings.

Features of the profession fitter

Thanks to the use of reinforcement, builders have the opportunity to create strong frames for the construction of reinforced concrete structures.

Thanks to fittings, you can create buildings and structures of various sizes, different levels of complexity and any shape. After that, this bundle of metal will be poured with concrete.

It should be understood that this profession requires considerable physical strength, so it is suitable only for men. There is hardly a place for a woman in this harsh niche.

Requirements for the profession of fitter

What should a fitter be able to do, and what personal qualities should he have in order to be successful in this work?

Everything is simple and at the same time difficult, since not every person is given the following qualities:

  1. High degree of endurance and physical strength;
  2. Have a high concentration on the process;
  3. Have self-organization and be able to go to the goal;
  4. Be responsible;
  5. To have good health, since high performance is indispensable here;
  6. Think technically with a certain degree of foresight.

Thanks to these qualities, the specialist easily copes with the tasks assigned to him.

Description of the work of the fitter

And now we list the job descriptions that are prescribed for rebar specialists.

What do they do while at work.

  1. Preparation of fittings for use, namely: cleaning from rust, sorting by length, diameter and brand.
  2. Following the technical plan, cutting, bending, welding, resorting to various devices and assemblies.
  3. Responsible for the storage of finished structures made of reinforcement, as well as for the installation of structures from reinforcement, according to the terms of reference.
  4. Create with the help of reinforcement of various frames, using reinforcing beams.

Requirements for the professionalism of a fitter

This one cannot be approached “slipshod”, as this is a high responsibility. The stability of buildings and structures depends on the quality of work.

Therefore, there is a list of basic requirements for candidates:

  • Get trained in a specialized educational institution, have an internship, get a qualification;
  • Be able to understand the brands of fittings;
  • Qualitatively perform actions for unwinding and cutting reinforcement, as well as know about all the ways how to do it.
  • Be able to operate machines that bend the original product for its further use.

Pros and cons of the profession

As with any profession, it also has its pros and cons.

Let's start with the positives first:

  • Work for real men. Thanks to physical activity, you do not need to go to the gym.
  • Demand. There are no fewer construction projects in our country, so a good fitter will never be left without a job, which means without money.
  • Fairly high wages. Building is always expensive, and working on a construction site is almost always profitable.
  • Development of useful qualities, such as: responsibility, purposefulness, self-discipline, motivation.

Well, a little about the cons. These include:

  • Hard physical labor. You have to lift a large number of weights, which is not very good for the joints and the health of the spine. Often in people of this profession, a hernia of the spine is found.
  • Outdoor work . It is hot in summer, but it can be cold in spring and autumn. There are a lot of side effects from this, from colds to overheating in the summer.
  • High injury rate . Do not be silent about the fact that when working with fittings, cases of such injuries as fractures of limbs or punctures of the body during a fall are not excluded. Therefore, when starting work, it is necessary to undergo an introductory briefing at the workplace every time.

Summing up

We tried to reveal as widely as possible the theme of the profession of a fitter, who is and what he does. They talked about the pros and cons that these specialists have to get along with. Gave information about where to get training and what is needed for this.

And this article is useful for both adults and children. Since everyone has heard, but the meaning and purpose of the profession of a fitter, remains a mystery to many.
