1. Maintain survey control networks across multiple construction and development projects.
2. Provide and maintain horizontal and vertical control across all floors of a project for use by contractors and internal project teams throughout the construction lifecycle.
3. Support and develop the team's laser scanning capabilities, including field data collection, processing and knowledge sharing.
4. Monitor basement and ground-floor slabs for deflection and settlement.
5. Monitor structures for differential vertical shortening between building cores and external structures/envelopes.
6. Monitor existing and adjacent structures for deflection, deformation and movement associated with construction activities.
7. Carry out as-built surveys throughout shell & core construction and, where required, during fit-out phases.
8. Undertake topographical surveys to support development teams, designers, engineers and architects.
9. Provide AutoCAD and drawing support to assist with project coordination and interfaces.
10. Register, coordinate and manage incoming survey requests.
11. Check survey computations and compile survey information prior to approval and issue.
12. Oversee the calibration of surveying equipment and maintain appropriate calibration records.
13. Ensure surveying equipment and supplies are maintained, checked and ordered when required.
