Job summary

Ferrovial is seeking an experienced Senior Survey Engineer to own survey control, layout, and 3D model coordination for a major highway segment. You will direct field crews, manage data workflows in ORD/TBC, and ensure monthly production and quantity measurements feed the pay-estimate process.

You will deploy robotic total stations, GNSS, 3D scanning and drones, producing as-built records and DTMs while ensuring QA/QC and TDOT compliance across the corridor.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Surveying, Geomatics, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 5+ years of progressive survey experience in heavy civil, highway or bridge construction.
• Expert-level Bentley Open Roads Designer (ORD) for corridor modeling, alignments, surfaces.
• Expert-level Trimble Business Center (TBC) for data processing and volumes.
• Hands-on with robotic total stations, GPS/GNSS, 3D laser scanning, and UAS survey ops.
• Experience producing monthly production and quantity measurements reconciled against Master pay-quantity.
• Solid understanding of control networks, datums and state plane/geodetic datums.
• Valid driver’s license; able to work in an active highway construction environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead and supervise survey crews and field technicians for the segment (mainline, bridges, drainage, walls, utilities).
• Establish, maintain and verify horizontal/vertical control networks tied to the Master network.
• Own the ORD 3D design model interface for the segment and coordinate with the design/BIM team.
• Process, adjust and QA/QC field survey data with TBC (GNSS, robotic total station, laser scan).
• Produce and certify monthly production and quantity measurements reconciled with Master quantities and pay estimates.
• Deploy robotic total stations, GPS/GNSS, 3D laser scanning, and UAS for progress verification and as-built docs.
• Support GPS/GNSS machine-control data pushes for grading and earthwork.
• Create segment as-built records, DTMs and topographic surfaces; ensure QA/QC standards.
• Coordinate with Project Survey Manager to keep datums and coding consistent across the corridor.
• Provide verified data to project controls, scheduling and QA/QC teams for monthly reviews.
• Ensure compliance with TDOT specs and the project survey management plan.
• Coordinate with third-party surveyors and TDOT survey personnel on segment matters.
