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

Your profile

• Proficient in GNSS (Trimble), including site calibrations and models.
• Expert in Electronic Total Station systems (Trimble), building and ground movement measurements, setting out, control systems, data analysis, error propagation.
• Ability to interpret design, 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.
• Worked closely with design and engineering teams to resolve technical challenges during construction.
• Experience with NEC contracts and managing Early Warning Notices and Compensation Events.
• Good knowledge of building products, construction details, and relevant rules, regulations, and quality standards.

• Knowledge of other survey instruments (Leica, Topcon, etc.) is also beneficial.
