Surveyor

Reports to: Surveyor Lead

The Surveyor plays a critical role in the planning, design, and construction of tunnel and underground infrastructure associated with railway and transportation project. The primary responsibility is to carry out precise underground and surface surveys to support tunnel alignment, excavation, and permanent works construction.

The Surveyor utilizes advanced surveying techniques and instruments to ensure accuracy of tunnel geometry, control transfer, and deformation monitoring. The role requires close collaboration with engineers, designers, and construction teams to provide reliable survey data essential to safe and efficient tunneling operations.

The Surveyor’s key responsibilities are:

Conduct detailed surface and underground surveys for tunnels, shafts, portals, cross passages, and associated railway infrastructure

Establish, maintain, and verify survey control networks, including transfer of alignment and levels from surface to underground

Set out and check tunnel works including: Tunnel centerlines and profiles Excavation limits and breakthrough control Tunnel linings, inverts, slabs, and track bed elements

Tunnel centerlines and profiles

Excavation limits and breakthrough control

Tunnel linings, inverts, slabs, and track bed elements

Use total stations, gyroscopic systems, laser scanners, GPS (where applicable), and other specialized survey instruments to collect accurate data

Perform as-built surveys and dimensional checks of excavated and completed tunnel works

Monitor and report on tunnel convergence, deformation, settlement, and clearance compliance

Analyze survey data to prepare maps, drawings, models, and reports for engineering and construction purposes

Identify potential underground constraints, geological interfaces, and construction risks that may impact alignment or excavation

Assist with tunnel alignment verification, grading, and construction layout development

Ensure compliance with safety regulations, tunnel-specific procedures, and industry standards during surveying activities

Collaborate with project managers, engineers, geotechnical teams, and contractors to resolve survey-related challenges

Maintain and calibrate survey equipment and ensure adherence to quality control and assurance procedures.
