Site Surveyor

Overview:
The Surveyor is responsible for conducting land surveys, setting out construction projects, and providing precise measurements to guide the design and execution of construction works. This role involves using advanced surveying tools and technology to collect data, create accurate maps and reports, and ensure the project's design is correctly implemented on-site. The Surveyor works closely with engineers, architects, and construction teams to ensure that all construction activities are aligned with the approved designs, legal requirements, and specifications.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Land Surveying
Conduct detailed land surveys to collect data on topography, boundaries, and other features relevant to construction projects. Measure distances, angles, and elevations to provide
Accurate data for design and construction purposes. Use advanced surveying tools and equipment, such as Total Stations, GPS, and laser scanning, to ensure high precision in measurements.

2. Setting out Construction Works
Mark reference points, boundaries, and elevations on-site to guide construction activities.
Establish control points and benchmarks to ensure that construction follows the intended design and meets all regulatory requirements.
Collaborate with project managers and engineers to define key project milestones and coordinate surveying activities.

3. Survey Data Collection & Analysis
Collect, process, and analyze survey data, ensuring the accuracy of measurements and calculations.
Create detailed survey reports, maps, and drawings that reflect site conditions, topography, and other relevant information.
Provide technical advice and recommendations based on survey data to assist the project team in making informed decisions.

4. Site Inspections & Documentation
Conduct site visits to monitor ongoing construction progress and ensure that work is being completed in accordance with the design and specifications. Verify and document any discrepancies between the design drawings and actual site conditions, advising on corrective actions if needed.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date survey records, including maps, drawings, and data logs.

5. Coordination with Project Teams
Work closely with engineers, architects, and construction teams to ensure that all construction works are aligned with the approved design.
Provide support during site meetings and help clarify technical survey data as required.
Ensure clear communication of survey findings and changes to the project team to avoid delays or errors in construction.

6. Quality Assurance
Ensure that all surveying work meets the required quality standards and complies with relevant regulations and industry best practices. Perform checks and verifications to ensure the accuracy of survey data, reducing errors in measurement and design implementation. Assist in resolving technical issues or discrepancies related to surveying and measurement.

7. Regulatory Compliance
Ensure that all surveying activities comply with local, state, and national regulations, including land boundaries, zoning laws, and environmental requirements. Keep up to date with the latest industry standards, technological advances in surveying, and regulatory changes.

8. Reporting & Documentation
Prepare and submit detailed survey reports, as-built drawings, and data sets to clients, project managers, and relevant authorities.
Ensure proper filing and record-keeping of survey data, reports, and drawings for future reference and legal compliance.

Qualifications & Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Surveying, Civil Engineering, Geomatics, or a related field.
2-5 years of experience as a surveyor, preferably in the construction or civil engineering industry.
Experience with land surveying software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Trimble) and field surveying equipment (e.g., GPS, Total Stations).

Skills:
Strong understanding of surveying techniques, instruments, and software applications.
Proficient in reading and interpreting construction drawings and specifications.
Attention to detail and accuracy in measurements and data analysis.
Good problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically and adapt to changing site conditions.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for interacting with team members, clients, and contractors.

Certifications:
Certification as a Land Surveyor or similar professional designation is an advantage (e.g., RICS, CLS, or equivalent).
Certification in GPS or GIS (Geographic Information System) technologies may be preferred.
