Check component numbers, pins, clamps and connectors before each lift

Keep the cycle time set by the planning engineer
Clean and oil forms after each strike

About the work

You assemble, move and strike modular formwork following the supplier's method statement and the site engineer's plan. The work repeats floor after floor, so speed and accuracy in each cycle matter. The employer expects safe crane-assisted lifts, correct use of system components and no improvised changes to the equipment.

Ideal candidate

A carpenter who has worked on high-rise or large concrete structures and knows how a formwork system is built, lifted and struck in a steady cycle.
