As a formworker, you'll be responsible for using casts to form concrete slabs, support beams and walls, to support the building process during construction.
The job role of a formworker involves the following duties:
- Creating forms for bridges, foundations, beams and staircases
- Building structures on site using wood or putting together metal frames that have been made elsewhere
- Dismantling casts without damaging them, so that they can be used again
- Measuring, cutting and shaping wood or metal
- Working closely with your team to pour concrete into moulds
- Checking work for accuracy
- Producing concrete blocks of exactly the right shape and size for whatever needs building.
