• Reviews and approves Inspection and Test Plans.
• Conducts and records quality inspections using FieldView.

• Records key events and activities.
• Promotes and encourages the SRM Build Sure culture.

Your Profile

• Expert in Electronic Total Station systems (Trimble), building and ground movement measurements, setting out, control systems, data analysis, error propagation.
• Ability to interpret designs, drawings, and data extraction, including recording data and checking third-party as-built data.
• Strong leadership skills and experience delivering multi-million-pound building projects.
• Experience leading weekly progress meetings, providing detailed reports, identifying delays, and implementing corrective actions.
• Experience working closely with design and engineering teams to resolve technical challenges during construction.
• Knowledge of NEC contracts and management of Early Warning Notices and Compensation Events.
• Good knowledge of building products, construction details, and relevant rules, regulations, and quality standards.
• Familiarity with construction software such as Trimble Business Systems, FieldView, 4P, Dalux, and Asta is desirable.
• Familiarity with other survey instruments on the market (Leica, Topcon, etc.).
