I am looking for the right term to describe a person who works in cutting reinforcing steel (rebar). This person would cut the steel bars and shape them to fit the project he/she working on.
Is there a term for the person whose job is to cut and prepare rebars to be used in buildings?
A photo is attached.

Hmm. You can look up ironworker and steel mill worker, then come back if you find it satisfactory.– vickyaceMar 31, 2017 at 15:02

I would probably go for the generic "Construction worker."– HellionMar 31, 2017 at 15:04

1@vickyace The rebar probably isn't cut to length at the steel mill (they would just sell standard lengths) so the worker probably isn't a steel mill worker.– David RicherbyMar 31, 2017 at 15:36

@DavidRicherby I worked in a rod mill at one time where we rolled reinforcing rod among other products. Whatever anyone else did with it afterwards it left us in the form of 2 tonne coils!– BoldBenAug 23, 2020 at 0:10
