Formwork carpenter wanted for concrete structures

As a formwork carpenter you create the shape for strong concrete structures. Looking for work where measuring, construction and practical carpentry come together? WERK Uitzendorganisatie mediates for structural projects across the Netherlands for tradespeople who know how a solid formwork is built. You can put your knowledge to use on a firm structural foundation.

Shaping concrete

We’re looking for formwork carpenters who can read technical drawings and independently build, install and adjust formwork. You work with both system and traditional formwork, check dimensions and make sure everything is secure before concrete is poured. Stripping formwork and repairing materials are also part of the job. You work precisely, think ahead and understand that every millimetre can impact the structure.

Structural work in various forms

Assignments are in residential building, commercial projects and structural works involving foundations, basements, floors or walls. On large projects you contribute to repetitive elements, while smaller jobs require more bespoke solutions. You work closely with concrete workers and rebar workers in the phase before pouring. That makes this a role for builders who keep an overview in a dynamic structural environment.

Make good use of your experience

WERK Uitzendorganisatie looks for assignments for you as a self-employed worker or temp, tailored to your formwork experience. Both temporary projects and longer-term work are negotiable, as are full-time or part-time arrangements. From a construction perspective we understand why clear drawings, a strong team and practical agreements matter. Contact us and tell us what your next step should be — that keeps the choice for your next assignment practical and clear.
