Pensando bem, um termo melhor seria \"reinforcing steel worker\" ou \"reinforcing steel erector\".

Achei um site ótimo com um \"Dictionary of Occupational Titles\" em http://www.occupationalinfo.org/80/801684026.html

Veja alguns sinônimos:

TITLE(s): REINFORCING-METAL WORKER (construction)
alternate titles: reinforcing-bar setter;

reinforcing-iron worker; reinforcing-steel erector; reinforcing-steel placer; reinforcing-steel setter; reinforcing-steel worker

Positions and secures steel bars in concrete forms to reinforce concrete: Determines number, sizes, shapes, and locations of reinforcing rods from blueprints, sketches, or oral instructions. Selects and places rods in forms, spacing and fastening them together, using wire and pliers. Cuts bars to required lengths, using hacksaw, bar cutters, or acetylene torch. May bend steel rods with handtools or rodbending machine. May reinforce concrete with wire mesh. May weld reinforcing bars together, using arc-welding equipment.
