Overview

Doka is a world leader in providing innovative formwork, solutions and services in all areas of construction. The company is also a global supplier of well-thought-out scaffolding solutions for a varied spectrum of applications. With more than 180 sales and logistics facilities in over 60 countries, Doka has a high performing distribution network for advice, customer service and technical support on the spot and ensures that equipment is swiftly provided – no matter how big and complex the project. Doka employs 7,000 people worldwide and is a company of the Umdasch Group, which has stood for reliability, experience and trustworthiness for more than 150 years.

As a customer-focused organisation, Doka understands that its greatest assets are its employees, which is why Doka is consistently looking for talented professionals who are keen to develop their career in this challenging industry. From metro stations to high-rises to more challenging projects such as the KL Metropolis, Doka Malaysia has diversified in terms of scope, but also location to include several projects outside of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Doka now combines its strengths with Malaysian-based MFE Formwork Technology, market leader in monolithic aluminium formwork. With this acquisition, Doka has achieved another significant milestone in its strategic growth plan and thus strengthened its position in the Asia Pacific region, an important growth market for the group. Doka Malaysia is currently looking to recruit a career driven professional to join its versatile team and support the company’s ongoing national expansion. The suitable candidate will be a qualified, natural team player who can add significant value to this highly dynamic team.

• Formwork Instructor Teams: The project manager will give teams ownership over their work. They must also supervise them to ensure the work is being done on time, within budget and meeting quality expectations.
• Setting Goals: Projects have goals determined by the client. The project manager must communicate those goals to the team and ensure they are met, including performance, precision, and any client requirements.
• Meeting Deadlines: The schedule is a major constraint. There are milestones to meet within the overall project timeline.
