## Description

​​​​​​​The Land Surveyor will be responsible for carrying out all surveying, setting-out, and measurement activities associated with stormwater and microtunneling works. The role involves ensuring the accurate establishment of horizontal and vertical alignments, coordinates, levels, and benchmarks for pipelines, shafts, tunnels, manholes, chambers, and related infrastructure. The Land Surveyor shall ensure that all survey activities are performed in accordance with approved drawings, project specifications, quality requirements, and Dubai Municipality (DM) standards while supporting the successful delivery of complex underground utility and drainage projects. The Land Surveyor will be responsible for performing precise surveying and setting-out activities for stormwater and microtunneling works, including shafts, tunnels, pipelines, chambers, and related structures. The role ensures that all construction alignments, levels, and coordinates are established accurately and in accordance with approved drawings, project specifications, and RTA/DM standards. Perform topographic, control, and setting-out surveys for stormwater and microtunneling works, including pipelines, shafts, manholes, and associated civil structures. Establish, verify, and maintain survey control points, benchmarks, and reference grids in coordination with the contractor’s survey team. Review and apply approved IFC drawings, alignment data, and coordinate systems in compliance with RTA and project requirements.
