Land / Marine Surveyor

Overview

Conduct marine and land surveys, process data, and support construction projects in Abu Dhabi.

Key Responsibilities

• hydrographic survey
• land survey
• survey modelling
• data processing
• qa documentation
• as-built survey

Tasks

-Validate the positioning, level, and alignment of floating pontoons and their anchor/mooring systems. -Maintain accurate and organized survey databases for audit and project record. -Process land survey data and develop accurate site models, cross sections, and 3D surfaces. -Produce daily survey activity reports, field sketches, and progress summaries. -Conduct hydrographic and land surveys for marina basins, fairways, and berth pockets. -Set out quay wall alignment, front face, pile centers, anchor locations, and coping levels. -Monitor horizontal/vertical movement of quay wall sections during and after construction. -Prepare marina layout verification drawings and occupancy/as-built plans. Review positioning support for marine construction (piling, deck-on-pile, rock placement, dredging, cable/pipe laying). -Provide survey-based insights for design adjustments, construction staging, and marine navigational assessments. -Perform underwater and above-water surveys for slope protection. -Support Resident Engineers, Structural Engineers, and Marine Specialists with survey inputs. -Process hydrographic data (tide correction, calibration, filtering, point cloud cleaning). -Verify contractor submissions including deflection monitoring and alignment control reports. -Provide positioning for pontoon installation including pile guides, gangways, and service connections. -Identify discrepancies between design and actual conditions and raise corrective action proposals. -Process hydrographic data to calculate volumes and verify against contractual tolerances. -Prepare QA/QC documentation including calibration reports, instrument logs, and survey verification records. -Perform as-built surveys of sheet piles, diaphragm walls, tie-rods, anchor blocks, and structural elements. -Monitor reclamation fill levels, compaction areas, and settlement behavior of reclaimed platforms. -Set out breakwater and revetment centerlines, toe lines, crest elevations, and armor layer templates. -Prepare bathymetric charts, dredging comparison reports, quay wall alignment reports, and marina as-built drawings. -Verify placement accuracy of armor rocks, core materials, and geotextile layers. -Validate survey results and ensure compliance with contract tolerances, IHO standards, and engineering requirements. -Conduct periodic progress surveys to validate cross sections and volume calculations.
