- Establish and maintain site benchmarks, reference points, grids, coordinates, and control points.
- Carry out accurate setting-out of buildings, foundations, columns, walls, roads, drainage systems, utilities, and other infrastructure works.
- Verify excavation levels, foundation locations, plinth levels, floor levels, structural grids, and building alignments.
- Check verticality, alignment, dimensions, and levels of structural elements during construction.
- Conduct as-built surveys and prepare accurate as-built survey records and drawings.
- Use Total Station, Auto Level, Digital Level, GPS/GNSS, and other modern surveying instruments.
- Transfer coordinates, grids, and levels from approved drawings accurately to the construction site.
- Coordinate with structural, architectural, MEP, civil, and infrastructure teams for survey requirements.
- Verify survey information provided by subcontractors before commencement and completion of works.
- Monitor dimensional accuracy of construction activities and immediately report deviations.
- Assist site teams in resolving discrepancies between drawings and actual site conditions.
- Maintain calibration and proper working condition of all surveying equipment.
- Maintain daily survey records, field books, coordinate data, level records, and survey reports.
- Prepare survey sketches, calculations, setting-out data, and reports as required.
