Temporary works engineers are responsible for designing, planning and supervising the construction of temporary structures and systems used in construction projects. These structures include scaffolding, shoring, formwork, temporary foundations, retaining walls and temporary bridges, among others. They must ensure that these structures are safe, secure and meet all relevant regulatory requirements. They also have to collaborate with the main contractors, project managers, and other engineers to ensure that the temporary works align with the overall project goals and schedule. Additionally, they are responsible for monitoring the condition of the temporary works during the construction phase and making any necessary adjustments to maintain the safety and stability of the structures.
