3. Prepare or supervise the preparation of all data, charts, plots, maps, records, and documents related to setting out.
4. Take measurements and gather data to determine levels, positions, and elevations.
5. Determine longitudes and latitudes of important features and boundaries using instruments such as Leica, LSS, Total Station, theodolites, transits, levels, and GPS systems.
6. Liaise and coordinate with engineering and project teams, and other stakeholders.
7. Establish fixed points using appropriate equipment and instruments.
8. Plan and conduct setting out to establish baselines, elevations, and other measurements.
9. Analyze data and specifications to prepare reports that support accurate setting out, material and plant requirement estimation, and site mobilisation.
