A shuttering carpenter creates temporary molds called "formwork" or "shutters" out of wood, plywood, and other materials for concrete structures like columns, beams, slabs, and foundations. Their responsibilities include reading blueprints, measuring and cutting materials, assembling and securing formwork with fasteners, ensuring it is aligned and stable, and safely dismantling it after the concrete has set. They also maintain tools, follow safety regulations, and collaborate with the construction team to complete projects to exact specifications.
