What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a formwork designer?

To thrive as a Formwork Designer, you need a solid background in civil or structural engineering, proficiency in mathematics, and knowledge of construction methods, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Experience with CAD software (such as AutoCAD or Revit) and familiarity with formwork systems and industry standards are highly valued. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication enable collaboration with project teams and the safe execution of designs. These abilities are crucial to ensure structural safety, cost efficiency, and successful project delivery in construction environments.

What is formwork design?

Formwork design involves creating temporary or permanent molds into which concrete is poured to form structural elements like walls, slabs, columns, and beams. The design must ensure stability, strength, and accuracy while being cost-effective and easy to assemble and dismantle. Formwork designers consider factors such as load-bearing capacity, concrete pressure, and safety standards to create efficient solutions for construction projects.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in formwork design, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in formwork design often encounter challenges such as coordinating with construction teams to meet project timelines, ensuring the structural safety of temporary works, and adapting designs to site-specific constraints. Effective communication with engineers, contractors, and on-site personnel is crucial for resolving conflicts and accommodating last-minute changes. Staying updated on the latest materials and design technologies can also help streamline the formwork process and improve efficiency, ultimately leading to safer and more cost-effective construction projects.

Job description

Self Perform Surveyor — Colorado Front Range / Mountain Region Full-Time | Exempt

Why Work at Shaw? From the day you are hired, we support you in your career - providing new opportunities and allowing you to focus on the unique skills and value you bring to the company. As a member of the Shaw Team, you will stand out as a world-class construction professional. While we take our work seriously, we promote a fun, safe, supportive, and encouraging work environment. We also encourage work/life balance and community involvement for all of our employees.

At Shaw, we believe diversity is what makes us unique as a company. Each individual we hire brings something different to the buildings and the relationships we build. We strive daily to create an environment where our employees feel supported and welcomed in both our company and the construction industry. That's why in 2024, The Denver Post named Shaw to the "Top Work Place" list for the fourth time. #WeAreShaw means more than just working at Shaw, it represents the diversity, safety culture and community of Shaw.

Shaw Construction is hiring a Self Perform Surveyor to support our Self Perform Concrete and Framing operations across the Colorado Front Range / Mountain Region. This role covers layout, staking, and formwork verification, along with quality control and quantity take-off support from early estimating through construction close-out — a great fit for someone who wants variety across office and field work on large, complex commercial projects.

What You'll Do:

  • Perform concrete layout, staking, and formwork verification, plus general project layout and QC compliance checks
  • Calculate points and load Trimble stations; set control using AutoCAD; coordinate embed, hold-down, and penetration layout
  • Support estimating with quantity take-offs, constructability reviews, and scope coordination
  • Coordinate Concrete Lift Drawings and formwork design planning with key trades (Geotech, civil, steel, framing, masonry)
  • Perform routine field inspections during construction to support the QA/QC program
  • Utilize robotic total stations, optical/digital levels, GPS equipment, and data collectors
  • Document and address quality issues promptly, and communicate across the project team — PMs, PEs, subcontractors, and inspectors
  • Train and mentor Shaw team members and concrete/framing crew as needed
  • Collaborate with Shaw's BIM and Framing Panel Design departments as needed

What We're Looking For:

  • Associate degree in surveying (minimum); Bachelor's in land surveying or civil engineering preferred
  • 5+ years of surveying experience
  • Solid working knowledge of concrete systems, formwork, and shoring
  • Comfortable with AutoCAD, Trimble Access/Business Center; Civil 3D or MicroStation a plus
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Procore, Bluebeam, Navisworks, or BIM360 a plus
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record (required)
  • State Licensure (FS/PS) a plus
  • GPS experience a plus
  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills
  • OSHA 10 required (OSHA 30 a bonus)
  • Physical ability to climb stairs/ladders, work on active construction sites, and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs

Pay: $80,000 – $110,000/year, depending on experience and licensure
