About This Role
Surveying for complex engineering and construction projects is the core of this role, ensuring accuracy and compliance throughout the project lifecycle. The ideal candidate will be adept at using advanced surveying equipment and software to establish control networks, perform precise setting out, and conduct detailed dimensional checks.
Responsibilities
- Establish, verify, and maintain the project survey control network, including primary and temporary control points, benchmarks, and datum levels
- Maintain an accurate survey control register with point identification, coordinates, reduced levels, descriptions, checks, and revision history
- Carry out precise setting out from approved construction drawings and coordinated BIM models using robotic total stations and other suitable survey equipment
- Prepare and transfer setting-out data, coordinates, and layouts from AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and approved federated models to field equipment
- Operate and support robotic layout systems, including SitePrint, for floor marking of equipment footprints, walls, openings, supports, penetrations, cable drops, and other coordinated installation requirements
- Verify control, orientation, and test marks before production setting out or SitePrint activities, and stop work where control or model alignment cannot be confirmed
- Undertake dimensional checks during construction to confirm the position, level, alignment, plumbness, and tolerance of installed building and MEP elements
- Complete pre-installation and post-installation surveys for critical elements such as steelwork, equipment bases, holding-down bolts, openings, supports, containment, busbar, and other coordinated services
- Carry out 3D laser scanning and reality-capture surveys to record existing conditions, construction progress, and as-built installations
- Plan scanner locations, targets, and control to achieve complete coverage, minimize hidden areas, and ensure reliable registration to the verified project coordinate system
- Process, register, clean, and quality-check point-cloud data, and issue coordinated deliverables in the project-required formats and manageable file sizes
- Compare point clouds and field measurements against coordinated BIM models and approved drawings to identify deviations, clashes, and tolerance issues
- Prepare clear setting-out, dimensional-control, scan, deviation, verification, and as-built reports, including coordinates, measurements, marked-up views, photographs, and tolerance status
- Provide survey information to support redline mark-ups, construction records, and as-built model and drawing updates, without taking responsibility for authoring the final as-built BIM model unless specifically assigned
- Coordinate daily survey priorities with the BIM, engineering, construction, QA/QC, and subcontractor teams, and promptly communicate discrepancies, access constraints, or missing information
