o Coordinate project setup and implement project-specific survey plans including scheduling, staffing, and documentation.
o Interpret project drawings, specifications, and shop drawings to ensure accurate construction models and field layout.
o Oversee field survey operations and ensure alignment with project schedules and milestones.
o Conduct audits of field procedures and documentation to ensure efficiency and compliance.
o Coordinate pre-construction and post-construction survey data collection efforts.
- Control, Modeling, and Layout
o Establish and maintain control networks using traverse, level loops, and GNSS calibration methods.
o Develop and maintain IFC models to support machine control and field layout activities.
o Perform quantity takeoffs to validate estimates and track completed work for progress and cost control.
o Execute and oversee construction layout activities across all phases of work.
o Ensure layout accuracy aligns with design intent and project specifications.
- Data Capture, Management, and Documentation
o Capture accurate as-built data and topography using terrestrial scanning, aerial survey methods, and traditional survey techniques.
o Manage survey data including storage, backups, and organization of project information.
