Formwork Autocad Designer

Role Summary

You’ll be responsible for creating efficient, safe, and cost-effective formwork designs for RCC structures. If your drawings are unclear, unsafe, or impractical, the site team will suffer—so accuracy and real-world constructability matter more than fancy CAD tricks.

Key Responsibilities

1. Formwork Design & Detailing

• Prepare formwork drawings for footings, walls, columns, beams, slabs, retaining walls, tanks, STP/ETP structures, and infrastructure works.
• Develop shop drawings, assembly drawings, panel layouts, and material lists.
• Optimize panel usage to reduce wastage and on-site adjustments.
• Ensure designs comply with engineering standards, safety norms, and load-bearing requirements.

2. Technical Calculations

• Calculate the formwork requirment for Plastic formwork system
• Perform load calculations (lateral pressure, fresh concrete pressure, tie rod forces, prop loads).
• Verify structural capacity of panels, supports, ties, and accessories.
• Identify design risks and propose safer, more economical alternatives.

3. Coordination with Internal Teams

• Work closely with the design head, project engineers, sales team, and production team.
• Provide technical support during client discussions, presentations, and BOQ clarifications.
• Assist in custom solutions for non-standard structures.

4. On-Site Support

• Provide site guidance for assembly, installation, and troubleshooting.
• Modify drawings based on actual site conditions.
• Conduct site audits to ensure formwork is used correctly.

5. Documentation & Revision Control

• Maintain clean version control for drawings.
• Prepare BOM (Bill of Materials), cutting lists, and project documentation.

Required Skills & Competencies

• Strong command of AutoCAD and MS Excel (mandatory).
• Experience with Revit/SolidWorks/3D modeling (preferred but not essential).
• Good understanding of RCC construction, concrete behavior, shuttering methods, and site workflow.
• Ability to read structural drawings (RCC plans, sections, reinforcement details).
• Problem-solving mindset and willingness to challenge impractical requests from sales or site teams.
• Precision, attention to detail, and zero tolerance for sloppy drafting.

Qualifications

• Diploma/B.Tech in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).
• 1–5 years of experience in formwork/shuttering/falsework design.
• Freshers with strong drafting skills and structural basics may also be trained—but only if they can learn fast.
