Fabricate, install, align, and strike formwork and falsework for foundations, columns, walls, beams, slabs, stairs, and parapets as per approved drawings, method statements, and Sharjah Municipality requirements—delivering safe, high-quality concrete shapes on programme while accounting for weather and traffic/logistics constraints.
Read IFC/shop drawings and pour layouts; confirm dimensions, levels, chamfers, keyways, construction joints, and surface class/finish.
Arrange materials (timber, plywood, H20/beams, steel/aluminum panels, props, ties, walers, clamps, form liners, release agents) and set up safe laydown/cutting areas.
Coordinate with Survey for setting-out (datums/levels/offsets) and with Steel Fixers for cover/clearances.
Build/assemble conventional and system formwork (timber/ply/steel/aluminum) to size; install falsework (props/shores) to specified spacing and capacities.
Erect formwork to correct line, level, plumb, and rigidity with proper bracing and tie systems; fix chamfers/fillets and form liners where required.
Provide openings/box-outs, sleeves, rebates, and edge forms; coordinate with MEP for penetrations and embedded items.
Apply release agents uniformly; prevent contamination of rebar and construction joints.
Conduct pre-pour checks with Site Engineer/QA-QC: dimensions, alignment, tightness, support to avoid blowouts, reinforcement cover, kickers, and access for vibration.
Secure working platforms, guardrails, and edge protection; maintain clear pump access and pour routes.
Strike forms to method statement and approved times (cube strength/engineer instruction); avoid shock or damage to green concrete.
Repair/patch minor defects to agreed procedures; protect arrises and surfaces from impact.
Clean, repair, and stack reusable panels; segregate damaged components.
Work to ITPs and method statements; present work for MIR/WIR inspections.
Achieve specified tolerances and surface classes; record as-built dimensions for stairs, parapets, and edges as requested.
Use guards and LOTO around power tools; manage dust and noise; ensure safe lifting/handling of panels.
Comply with scaffolding/MEWP rules, fall protection, and housekeeping standards; maintain safe access and exclusion zones.
Heat & Humidity:
Schedule heavy lifting/erection and striking in early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.
Shade and cool metal/aluminum panels to prevent burns and excessive thermal expansion; pre-wet timber/ply to reduce rapid moisture loss from fresh concrete.
Apply release agents more frequently in hot, dry conditions; extend curing/protection of exposed arrises.
Dust/Sand:
Keep contact surfaces clean before pour; cover stored panels/timber; protect fresh concrete from wind-blown sand.
Occasional Rain/Coastal Effects:
Inspect sole plates/prop bases after rain; prevent slip on decks; use corrosion-resistant fixings where specified.
Traffic & Logistics:
Plan off-peak or night deliveries for beams/panels; coordinate SRTA/Police permits for roadside crane setups or pump booms.
Stage materials close to work fronts without overloading slabs; provide banksmen for off-loading and internal movements.
5–8 years formwork/shuttering carpentry (UAE/GCC preferred) on RC buildings.
Skilled with timber/ply and system formwork (aluminum/steel panels, H20 beams, props/ties).
Able to read drawings/levels; strong knowledge of tolerances, bracing, falsework spacing, and safe striking times.
Basic English for coordination; Arabic/Urdu/Hindi an advantage.
Circular/mitre saws with guards, drills/drivers, nail guns (as allowed), wrenches/spanners for ties, levels/laser, clamps, crowbars, props/shores, lifting tackles, measuring tapes, PPE (helmet, gloves, boots, eye/ear protection, harness).
Dimensional accuracy (line/level/plumb) & neat workmanship
Safe erection/striking and temporary works awareness
Interface coordination with rebar, MEP sleeves, and concrete team
Time management and housekeeping
Preventing blowouts, leaks, and honeycombs through tight, well-braced forms
First-time pass on pre-pour inspections; tolerances within spec.
Zero formwork failures/blowouts; minimal grout loss.
Strike and re-use cycles achieved to programme; low damage rate on panels/props.
Zero lost-time incidents; full compliance with midday break and site traffic plan.
