Field Engineer (Formworks)

About the role

The Formworks Engineer is responsible for the design review, inspection, supervision, and safe execution of all formwork activities on the PCG Project. The role ensures that formwork is structurally sound, accurately built, safe to use during concrete pouring, and properly stripped, stored, and reused, in line with project specifications, quality standards, and safety regulations.

Key responsibilities

• Review and approve formwork drawings, dimensions, alignment, and load calculations; coordinate with the structural and design team on revisions and clarifications
• Inspect all formwork materials: plywood, steel sheets, props, jacks, walers, ties, and bracing; reject or replace materials that are damaged or do not meet standards
• Supervise erection and guide the crew on assembly, plumb, level, verticality, and tie spacing; verify structural stability and check joint tightness, absence of gaps and leaks, proper anchoring, and access scaffolding
• Conduct pre-pour inspection and sign the clearance before concreting starts; monitor formwork during the pour for bulging, shifting, or leakage, and order immediate corrective action
• Plan the stripping schedule based on the curing period and strength test results; supervise safe dismantling, handling, storage, and reuse of formwork materials
• Enforce safety requirements: fall protection, load limits, and proper shoring; report hazards and unsafe conditions immediately and ensure corrective actions are carried out
• Maintain inspection checklists, material logs, and records of defects and corrections; submit regular progress and quality reports to the Project Manager
