Formwork Incharge

Key Responsibilities
1) Planning & Coordination   Interpret  issued-for-construction (IFC) drawings , formwork shop drawings, and pour plans develop  method statements  and work packs for each block/lift.
Prepare  daily/weekly look-ahead plans  (materials, workforce, equipment) synced to concrete pour schedules and rebar readiness.
Define  formwork systems  (traditional timber, modular steel/aluminum, climbing/slide forms, custom curved forms) based on structural geometry (spillway/chute, dam blocks, galleries, draft tubes, piers).
Coordinate interfaces with  rebar, embeds/inserts, water-stops, construction joints, cooling pipes, instrumentation  and embedded metals.
Plan  lift heights, staging/scaffolding, access , and  erection/dismantling sequences  to optimize cycle time and safety.
2) Technical Execution   Lead  erection, alignment, plumb, level, and curvature  control per drawings ensure  camber/offsets  where specified.
Calculate and verify  formwork pressures  (rate of pour, concrete temperature, slump) and select adequate  ties, walers, studs, bracing .
Ensure  form-release agents , surface preparation,  joint sealing , and  form tightness  to prevent honeycombing and leakage.
Implement  thermal control measures  (cooling pipes coordination, insulation, pour temperature limits) to maintain joint integrity and reduce thermal cracking.
Oversee  pre-pour inspections  with QA/QC close NCRs/snag lists maintain as-built adjustments logs.
3) Safety, HSE & Compliance   Enforce  HSE method statements ,  Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) , and  Permit-to-Work  for all formwork activities-especially at height, near water, night pours, and heavy lifts.
Ensure  scaffolding/working platforms  are certified maintain  fall protection  and  restricted access  during pour.
Conduct  toolbox talks , PPE checks, and lifting plan briefings coordinate with lifting supervisor for panel handling and crane operations.
4) Quality Assurance & Control   Ensure dimensional accuracy:  line, level, plumb, elevation , curvature/geometry for spillway/chute profiles  form alignment tolerance  per project specifications.
Verify  construction joint preparation ,  keys , and  water stops  placement ensure  embedment tolerances  for anchors/inserts.
Document  pre-pour / post-pour checklists ,  inspection requests (IRs) , and maintain  redline/as-built  records.
5) Resource & Cost Management   Track  material inventories  (plywood/ply board, steel/aluminum panels, H‑frames, props, ties, clamps, walers, consumables).
Control  formwork damage rates , repair cycles, and  reuse factor  reduce  wastage  and optimize procurement.
Manage  workforce productivity  and  equipment utilization  (cranes, vibrators, power tools).
Support  cost control  with accurate  Material Take-Off (MTO)  and consumption reporting.
6) Documentation & Reporting   Issue  daily progress reports  (erection/dismantling, inspections, pour readiness) and  weekly performance dashboards .
Maintain  RFI/Clarification  logs with design/engineering track  NCRs  and  Corrective Actions .
Keep  equipment/inspection/maintenance  records for formwork systems and accessories.
