• Prepare survey maps, contour plans, profiles, and cross-sections.
• Assist in route selection and alignment studies for pipelines and infrastructure.
• Ensure survey outputs meet project specifications and standards.

Setting-Out & Construction Support:

• Carry out setting-out of structures, pipelines, and mechanical installations.
• Provide on-site survey support during construction activities.
• Verify alignment, levels, and positions of installed components.
