**What will the apprentice be doing on site**: What are we looking for?
We are currently looking for an apprentice Formworker working on sites around Peterborough.
What is Formwork?
Formwork is the process of producing temporary or permanent moulds and shuttering from timber for concrete to be poured into, which allows the concrete to be formed to the correct dimensions and to support it until it can support itself.
Formwork is used in the entire infrastructure, from constructing roads, rail, bridges and underground structures to high-rise concrete buildings. A formworker contributes to the construction of projects through the preparation, installation and quality management of all stages of the formwork process. As an apprentice, you’ll train in the preparation of falsework (providing temporary support structures for forms) and also undertake formwork.
