A shuttering carpenter builds temporary molds (shutters) for concrete structures like columns, walls, and slabs. Key duties include interpreting blueprints, measuring and cutting wood and plywood, assembling and securing the formwork with nails and bolts, and ensuring the framework is level and properly supported. Shuttering carpenters must also adhere to safety regulations, maintain tools, and collaborate with other construction team members to ensure accurate and timely completion of projects.
