6. Work closely with project managers, site engineers, and construction teams to align formwork designs with construction schedules and site conditions.
7. Coordinate with architects and structural engineers to integrate formwork designs with overall project plans.
8. Ensure formwork designs meet safety standards and regulatory compliance.
9. Conduct risk assessments to identify potential hazards associated with formwork installation and removal.
10. Optimize the use of formwork materials to minimize costs and waste.
11. Explore reusable or modular formwork systems to enhance sustainability and efficiency.
12. Prepare detailed formwork drawings, specifications, and assembly instructions.
13. Provide technical support to site teams during formwork assembly, installation, and dismantling.
14. Research and implement new technologies and materials to improve formwork efficiency and durability.
