Incidentally, Manfred, I forgot to say welcome to Proz.com! I only just noticed that you are new here. Are you a translator too? Or just interested in learning Dutch? In any case, welcome to the site!

I opted for 'modular' since 'systeem' in 'systeembekisting' sounds 'modular' to me.

E.g., see here an explanation for modular:

MODULAR
The elements of the Geoplast system formwork are modular, designed to fit together in a large number of combinations to fit the exact requirements of each construction site.
The panels are precise in size and shape and fully interchangeable, and share a common fastening method to reduce the overall number of elements needed to create the formwork.

concept:
– modular formwork (Barend)
– engineered formwork system(s) (Barabara/Wikipedia)
– shuttering system (Dictionary for Building Technology Terminology, TU Delft):

thing:
– form assembly (Dictionary of Building and Civil Engineering)
– ganged form (Dictionary of Building and Civil Engineering)

person:
– formworker

I think all the above are correct.

Now suppose the term to translate is just:

systeembekisting

This is the problem term and this is the term I suggested a translation for (I did not even notice this 'monteur')

What would you do if the term to translate was just 'systeembekisting'?

This is the question.

re your comment "You need the English term for 'systeembekisting'"

Have a look at the job description of a "formworker", e.g. here:
https://www.goconstruct.org/construction-careers/what-jobs-a...

These people work with all kinds of different systems/methods, I don't think it is necessary (or common) for their job title to be so specific, like:

modular formworker
modular formwork builder
engineered formwork system builder
etc.

Just "formworker" will do.

"What does it take to become a CONCRETE SHUTTERER?

A concrete shutterer’s job description includes fabricating and setting up the forms in which concrete is poured to create walkways, walls, pillars and other structures. Work alongside construction workers by erecting and setting forms for concrete structures, they build wooden moulds and clamp them using appropriate hand tools in fabricating concrete beams, columns and panels. They also introduce rebar or wire mesh to reinforce the material, use trowels and other tools to spread and smooth concrete, and mold expansion joins and edges. They interpret blueprints and read survey stakes with a view to establish appropriate grades, prepare worksites for concrete footings and assemble concrete forms on specified locations."

"Wat is een monteur systeembekisting (betonbouw)?

Het beroep monteur systeembekisting (betonbouw) is een variant van het beroep betontimmerman en is onderdeel van de beroepsfamilie timmerlieden burgerlijk en utiliteit

Beschrijving van het moederberoep betontimmerman
Een betontimmerman fabriceert bekistingen waar beton in wordt gegoten. Deze bekistingen kunnen van zowel metaal als hout gemaakt zijn. De betontimmerman krijgt bij een bouwproject bouwtekeningen aangeleverd om hier vervolgens de juiste bekistingen bij te maken. De bekistingen worden vervolgens gebruikt bij het gieten van het beton voor bijvoorbeeld funderingen, wanden, vloeren en andere constructies waar beton voor nodig is. Het werk van een betontimmerman kent veel verantwoordelijkheid aangezien de rest van de bouwwerkzaamheden pas kunnen beginnen als de fundering gefabriceerd is. Een betontimmerman is doorgaands werkzaam bij een constructiebedrijf maar kan ook als zelfstandige werken."

I don't think so.

You need the English term for 'systeembekisting'

A formwork carpenter constructs conventional formwork.

'systeembekisting' are prefabricated panels that are locked together.

Although "engineer" is often used as a fancy way of saying mechanic/electrician/fitter, etc. (e.g., the guy BT sent to fiddle with my Wi-Fi disks is also an "engineer"). In this case you are right. My suggested translation of "monteur systeembekisting" as "formwork design engineer / formwork systems engineer" is wrong.

Incidentally, I suppose:

"monteur systeembekisting" = "betontimmerman"

(= concrete shutterer, shutterer, formwork carpenter, formworker, shuttering carpenter, etc.)

PS: yeah, I looked at the images. indeed, same thing

Also have a look at the images from the refs in my answer.

I don't think it has something to do with an 'engineer'.

This 'monteur' is the person who the 'bekistingssloten aan elkaar koppelt':

Systeembekisting is bekisting die wordt opgebouwd uit geprefabriceerde herbruikbare elementen. Het frame en de panelen worden met behulp van bekistingssloten aan elkaar gekoppeld. Bekistingsplaten (panelen) worden gemaakt van verschillende materialen. Systeembekisting was een grote innovatie binnen de betonstortmarkt. Voorheen werd bekisting volledig met de hand opgebouwd en bestond uit houten steunbalken en bekistingsplaten.

I think something like this ought to work:

monteur systeembekisting =
formwork design engineer / formwork systems engineer
