• Collect accurate field data using GPS, Total Station, and other surveying equipment.

Design Support:

• Provide survey data to support engineering design and planning.
• Prepare survey maps, contour plans, profiles, and cross-sections.
• Assist in route selection and alignment studies for pipelines and infrastructure.
• Ensure survey outputs meet project specifications and standards.

Setting-Out & Construction Support:

• Carry out setting-out of structures, pipelines, and mechanical installations.
• Provide on-site survey support during construction activities.
• Verify alignment, levels, and positions of installed components.
• Monitor construction progress and ensure adherence to design coordinates.

Data Processing & Reporting:

• Process survey data using relevant software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D, GIS tools).
• Prepare detailed survey reports, drawings, and documentation.
• Maintain accurate records of survey data and field notes.

Quality Control & Compliance:

• Ensure all survey activities comply with project requirements and standards.
• Conduct periodic checks to verify accuracy of survey data.
