AField Survey Technician translates engineering blueprints and digital model data into physical reference points on a jobsite to ensure formwork, embeds, foundations, and slab edges are positioned with accuracy prior to pouring concrete. Core Responsibilities Control Point Establishment: Set up and verify primary project control lines, benchmarks, and vertical/horizontal elevations on the jobsite. Robotic Layout & Staking: Use optical and Trimble GPS instruments to locate and stake points for footings, grade beams, foundation walls, columns, post-tensioned cables, and elevated decks. Embed & Penetration Verification: Mark and verify the precise positioning of anchor bolts, weld plates, plumbing/electrical block-outs, and structural embeds prior to concrete placement. Plan & Model Interpretation: Read architectural, civil, and structural CAD/BIM blueprints to extract coordinate points and identify potential constructability conflicts. As-Built Documentation: Conduct post-pour surveys to generate as-built data and ensure elements fall within engineering tolerance limits. Field Coordination: Communicate layout marks and tolerances directly to carpenters, ironworkers, site superintendents, and project managers. Required Equipment & Technical Skills Surveying Hardware: Proficiency operating Robotic Total Stations (RTS) such as Trimble, Leica, or Topcon, along with auto-levels, rotary lasers, and GNSS/GPS receivers.
