• Volume Calculation: Execute volume calculations for earthworks, cut and fill operations, and material stockpiles to support project quantity tracking and payment certifications.

2. Quality Assurance (QA/QC) & Documentation

• Verification Checks: Perform independent dimensional control checks on completed works (e.g., as-built surveys, column verticality checks, alignment verification) to ensure strict adherence to approved drawings and quality standards.
