About this job

We're looking for an experienced Temporary Works Manager / Temporary Works Engineer to support delivery of a major reinforced concrete package.
Strong formwork and/or falsework experience is a critical requirement.
Working alongside the existing Temporary Works Manager, you'll provide additional engineering, design and procurement support across a fast-paced FRC operation with multiple concurrent work fronts.

*
Liaising with specialist suppliers and Temporary Works Designers
*
Reviewing designs, drawings, calculations and technical submissions
*
Ensuring proposed solutions reflect actual construction methodology and sequencing
*
Supporting technical evaluation of supplier proposals
*
Identifying upcoming TW requirements against the construction programme
*
Coordinating design information through approval and into construction
*
Supporting resolution of site queries and design changes
*
Working closely with Engineering, Construction, Procurement and the existing TWM
*
Ensuring Temporary Works solutions are practical, safe and available when the site needs them
