Senior/Engineering Surveyor – Earthworks & Machine Control
Location: UK-wide (with remote management opportunities)
We are looking for a Senior/Engineering Surveyor to support our Geomatics team in advancing earthworks management and machine control services within the business. This role offers a unique opportunity to drive innovation, optimise workflows, and contribute to the expansion of in-house geospatial capabilities.
Key Responsibilities:
* Perform earthworks volumetric calculations, including reduced dig comparisons, stockpile volumes, and cut-fill balancing.
* Interpret architectural, civil, and structural drawings to extract key information for bulk earthworks formation modelling and 3D Machine Control system integration.
* Utilize terrain surface modelling software (Civil 3D or N4CE) to design slope gradients, embankments, and alignments.
* Work proficiently with Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) models for surface analysis and data validation.
* Support the in-house geospatial processing team, contributing to point cloud processing, UAV LiDAR, and photogrammetry workflows.
* Conduct site surveys to maximise internal utilisation and enhance data accuracy.
* Familiarity with 3D Machine Control systems (Leica MC1, Trimble Earthworks) and remote platforms (Leica ConX, Trimble Works Manager).
* Understanding of GNSS correction sources for machine control systems (GNSS Base Stations, UHF radio, VRS networks such as Trimble VRS or Leica SmartNet).
* Proficiency in surveying equipment (GNSS rovers, Total Stations).
* Ability to troubleshoot machine control configurations, including blade/bucket XYZ verification, calibration, and connectivity issues (radio, SIM).
* Provide training and support to operators on machine control functionality and system best practices.
Additional Information:
* The role will require UK-wide travel for the setup and implementation of machine control systems.
* Remote management and support options will be available following initial implementation.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of digital construction by optimising earthworks processes and machine control adoption within our business.
If you have the skills and experience to take on this role, we’d love to hear from you!
