Establish and maintain horizontal and vertical control networks. Perform high-precision GPS/GNSS observations and processing. Conduct leveling, triangulation, trilateration, and traverse surveys. Verify survey accuracy through quality assurance procedures. Data Collection and Analysis Collect, process, analyze, and interpret geospatial data. Perform coordinate transformations and datum conversions. Analyze survey measurements using statistical adjustment methods. Generate accurate survey reports and technical documentation. Validate field data for consistency and precision. Mapping and GIS Develop topographic, cadastral, engineering, and thematic maps. Integrate survey data into Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Manage geospatial databases. Produce digital terrain models (DTMs), contour maps, and orthophotos. Support spatial analysis for planning and engineering projects. Quantity Verification and Earthworks Management Perform earthwork quantity calculations, cut-and-fill analysis, and volume computations. Prepare Digital Terrain Models (DTM), surface models, and earthwork balance reports. Verify contractor quantity calculations for grading, excavation, embankment, roads, drainage, and site development works. Support quantity surveying activities through accurate survey-based quantity verification. Monitor earthwork progress and provide survey validation for contractor progress claims. Support cost estimation and engineering evaluations through geospatial and quantity data analysis. Conduct volumetric surveys for borrow areas, stockpiles, spoil areas, and construction materials. Engineering and Construction Support Provide survey control and engineering support for utility-scale solar PV plants, substations, transmission lines, BESS facilities, roads, drainage systems, buildings, and other infrastructure projects. Perform construction staking, setting-out, alignment verification, and dimensional control surveys. Verify contractor survey controls, benchmarks, coordinates, and construction layouts. Conduct as-built surveys and verify compliance with approved engineering drawings and project specifications. Support engineering design teams by providing accurate topographic, terrain, and geospatial information. Coordinate with civil, electrical, structural, mechanical, environmental, and construction teams. Assist in design reviews, constructability reviews, and technical evaluations from a geospatial and surveying perspective. Monitor construction progress through survey verification and reporting. Participate in site inspections, technical reviews, and project coordination meetings. Renewable Energy and Power Infrastructure Support Support utility-scale solar PV project development and construction through survey and geospatial services. Conduct site suitability assessments and terrain analysis for solar plant optimization. Support transmission line route selection, alignment verification, and right-of-way surveys. Support substation site development and construction surveys. Perform tracker alignment verification and solar block layout validation.
