• Collaboration: Coordinate with PMCM Construction Management, Engineering, and Design teams to resolve technical issues and support progress verification (quantities and physical completion).

• Reporting: Maintain rigorous survey records and logs; assist in the assessment of contractor claims related to survey data or dimensional discrepancies.

• Handover: Support project closeout by validating final as-built information and survey deliverables.

What Required Skills You’ll Bring

• Surveying Software: Proficiency in industry-standard software such as Trimble Business Center, Leica Geo Office, or equivalent for data processing.

• Technical Instrumentation: Proven ability to validate data from total stations, GNSS/GPS, laser scanners, and digital levels.

• CAD & Engineering Tools: Working knowledge of AutoCAD / Civil 3D for reviewing layouts and overlaying survey data against design models.

• BIM & Digital Engineering: Basic to intermediate understanding of Navisworks, Revit (review level), or Bentley platforms; familiarity with BIM execution plans and coordinate systems.

• Data Management: Competent in Microsoft Excel for data analysis and experience working within Common Data Environments (CDEs) like Aconex, ProjectWise, or Procore.

• Field Tech: Comfort using digital field tools (tablets/rugged devices) and familiarity with GIS platforms.

What Desired Skills You’ll Bring

• Formal training/certification on survey instruments (Trimble or Leica).

• BIM awareness or ISO 19650 training.

• Knowledge of QA/QC digital workflows and document control systems.
