Total Station Surveyor High-Rise Building Projects

Job Description

We are looking for a highly skilled Total Station Surveyor with experience in high-rise building construction. The ideal candidate will be responsible for accurate site layout, vertical and horizontal control, and structural alignment using total station equipment. You will play a key role in ensuring the structural integrity and precise execution of multi-story building designs. Key Responsibilities: Operate total station equipment (Leica, Trimble, Sokkia, etc.) for precise measurement and layout on high-rise construction sites. Perform vertical control surveys, including transferring benchmarks to upper floors. Establish and maintain horizontal and vertical control points throughout the project. Set out grid lines, foundation positions, columns, core walls, slabs, and other critical structural elements as per approved drawings. Monitor and record building movements and vertical deviations (plumb control) during construction. Conduct as-built surveys and provide detailed reports and drawings. Work closely with site engineers, structural engineers, and project managers to ensure alignment with design intent. Maintain survey equipment, perform regular calibration, and ensure its proper functioning. Adhere to strict safety guidelines, especially when working at heights and on scaffolding. Manage and store survey data using software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or Civil 3D. Requirements: Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering, Geomatics, Surveying, or a related field. Minimum 35 years of experience in total station surveying on high-rise or complex vertical projects. Proficiency in using total station equipment and related software. Strong understanding of verticality, alignment, and structural layout requirements in high-rise buildings. Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural drawings. Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently under tight deadlines. Good physical condition; comfortable working at heights and in challenging site environments. Valid certification or license (if required by local regulations). Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
