About the role

Carry out topographical, engineering, and construction surveys to support infrastructure and road construction activities. Establish and maintain site control points, benchmarks, coordinates, and reference levels in accordance with approved survey control data. Set out road alignments, profiles, levels, boundaries, and construction limits as per approved drawings. Carry out setting-out surveys for sewerage, stormwater, potable water, TSE, irrigation, and other utility networks. Establish and verify coordinates, invert levels, gradients, and elevations for underground utility installations. Conduct setting-out surveys for manholes, chambers, catch pits, valve chambers, and other infrastructure structures. Verify excavation depths, trench levels, pipe alignments, and formation levels during construction. Conduct surveys for road levels, kerbs, footpaths, pavements, interlock, and asphalt works. Carry out surveys for electrical duct banks, cable routes, telecom networks, street lighting, and other dry utilities. Perform as-built surveys for completed infrastructure works and ensure accurate recording of actual site conditions. Verify contractor's survey submissions, setting-out data, coordinates, and levels against approved IFC drawings.
