Full Job Description

The Topographic Surveyor is responsible for planning, executing, and supervising topographic and geospatial surveys for infrastructure projects such as highways, expressways, railways, urban roads, and industrial developments. The role involves leading survey teams, ensuring high-accuracy spatial data collection, and supporting engineering design teams with reliable terrain and alignment data. Key Responsibilities 1. Topographic Survey Planning & Execution * Plan and conduct large-scale topographic surveys for highway and infrastructure projects. * Establish control points using DGPS, Total Station, and GNSS equipment. * Execute detailed ground surveys covering terrain features, utilities, drainage, and structures. * Ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency of field data. 2. Survey Data Collection & Processing * Collect and process spatial data using modern survey instruments (Total Station, RTK GPS, Drone/UAV if applicable). * Generate Digital Terrain Models (DTM), contour maps, and Digital Elevation Models (DEM). * Process raw survey data using software such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, Bentley MicroStation, or similar tools. * Validate and cross-check survey outputs for design readiness. 3. Engineering Support * Provide accurate topographic data to highway design, drainage, and geometric design teams. * Assist in alignment fixing, right-of-way (ROW) mapping, and utility mapping. * Support preparation of preliminary and detailed engineering reports. * Coordinate with design engineers for resolving site-related discrepancies. 4. Field Supervision & Team Management * Lead and supervise junior surveyors and field teams. * Ensure proper calibration and maintenance of survey instruments. * Allocate field tasks and monitor daily progress of survey activities. * Enforce safety protocols during field operations. 5. Quality Control & Accuracy Assurance * Ensure survey data meets required tolerances as per project standards. * Perform checks and validations of control network
