Kamen the Stonemason and Hafu the Master Carver rebuilding the Path of Prophecies, as part of their respective Jobs.

One of the most important parts of society are Jobs. The Matoran from all corners of the Bionicle universe exist to work, under the guidance of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. Each Matoran has a job to complete, whether it is assigned by a Turaga (Takua as Chronicler), earned through special competency (Jaller as Captain of the Guard), or adopted in a time of crisis (Piruk as a Spy). It is essential that the Matoran are always working - the Great Spirit suffers when work stops, especially that of the Metru Nui Matoran. Legend also says that workers who perform well at their job are sent to the paradise of Artakha and those who work poorly are sent to Karzahni. As such, Matoran are constantly motivated to continue working.

The types of jobs differ from location to location. Whereas most jobs on Metru Nui were very urban-based, those on Mata Nui and Mahri Nui were more survival-oriented. Here are all the jobs that Matoran have been known to perform:
