• Review field survey data for completeness and accuracy, complete calculations as needed and prepare survey data for drafting or client project reporting.

• Establish primary horizontal and vertical control including reference ties for re-establishing the points in the field.

• There is a potential to complete topographic and bathymetric surveys of stormwater management ponds and related infrastructure.

• Collect detailed information on buried infrastructure, including manholes, catch basins, and related utility features, ensuring accurate location, dimensions, and condition assessments.

• Record all measurements, rod readings and calculations neatly and accurately in field books as the work progresses.

• Ensure safe work practices and site safety is maintained.

• This is primarily a field-based position, requiring regular travel to project sites. The role involves working outdoors in a variety of weather and environmental conditions. Candidates must be comfortable performing tasks in urban, rural, and undeveloped areas, often on uneven terrain and near active construction zones.

• The successful candidate will be expected to work from their own vehicle, transporting necessary equipment to and from job locations. Travel and vehicle usage will be compensated in accordance with CIMA + policies.
