- Provide survey set-out for marine piling, structural steel placement, and land reclamation works.
- Install, configure, commission, and operate specialised positioning and machine control systems used in construction, dredging, and hydrographic applications.
- Digitise design concepts, create CAD drawings, and build geospatial models (DTMs, TINs, etc.) for integration into machine control systems and dredge and hydrographic software.
- Perform data processing, quality control, and validation of topographic and hydrographic survey data.
- Compile and deliver concise technical reports, survey plans, and spatial data outputs in line with internal and client expectations.
- Advise Engineers, Project Managers, and site crews on spatial information, survey outputs, and technical requirements.
- Assist Project Managers with survey-related administration, including reporting, documentation, cost tracking, and coordination of subcontractors.
