Role overview

A Formworker apprenticeship trains you to construct the temporary mould systems - known as formwork or shuttering - into which concrete is poured on construction sites, forming the structure of buildings, bridges, and civil engineering works. You will develop skills in carpentry, erecting complex formwork systems, and reading structural drawings. This standard leads to senior formworker, gang leader, or structural concrete specialist roles.
