Duties and Responsibilities 

Data Collection & Field Surveys: 

• Establish, maintain, and verify the primary and secondary survey control networks (benchmarks, control points) across the entire project site. 
• Conduct detailed topographical surveys of undeveloped land parcels to provide accurate data for master planning, infrastructure design, and architectural development. 
• Carry out engineering surveys to support the design of roads, drainage, water, and other utilities, capturing all necessary features and levels. 
• Perform pre-construction surveys to verify site conditions and existing features before works commence. 

Construction & Setting Out: 

• Provide precise setting out for all construction activities, including building gridlines, road alignments, infrastructure corridors, foundation locations, and finished levels. 
• Work directly with the construction and contractor’s survey teams to ensure all setting out is accurate and clearly marked on site. 
• Conduct periodic checks during construction to verify verticality of high-rise structures, alignment of infrastructure, and dimensional accuracy of works. 
• Resolve any on-site discrepancies between design drawings and actual site conditions in coordination with the field engineering team. 

Data Processing & Reporting: 

• Process raw survey data using specialized software to produce clear, accurate survey drawings, reports, and digital terrain models (DTMs). 
• Prepare and maintain a comprehensive, up-to-date digital and physical archive of all survey records, field notes, and final drawings. 
• Perform volumetric calculations for earthworks (cut and fill) based on topographical and as-built survey data to support quantity verification. 
• Conduct as-built surveys of completed works to create accurate records of the final position and level of all infrastructure and buildings. 

Quality Assurance & Compliance: 

• Implement and manage a robust QA/QC program for all survey activities to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and precision. 
• Regularly calibrate and maintain all survey equipment (Total Stations, GPS/GNSS, Levels) to ensure optimal performance and accuracy. 
• Ensure all survey and mapping activities are conducted in accordance with Kenyan survey regulations and international best practices. 

Requirements

• Education: A bachelor’s degree or diploma in Land Surveying, Geomatics Engineering, or a related field is essential. 
• Professional Registration: Professional registration with the relevant statutory body (e.g., Institution of Surveyors of Kenya - ISK) is highly advantageous. 
• Experience: A minimum of 8-10 years of direct, post-graduate experience as a land surveyor on large-scale civil infrastructure or building construction projects. 
• Technical Proficiency (Equipment): Expert, hands-on proficiency in operating modern survey equipment, including Robotic Total Stations, RTK GPS/GNSS systems, and Digital Levels. 
• Technical Proficiency (Software): High-level proficiency in survey data processing and drafting software is mandatory. This must include AutoCAD Civil 3D and relevant survey data processing software (e.g., Trimble Business Center, Leica Infinity). 
• Codes and Standards: Strong working knowledge of local survey regulations and standard survey practices.

Duties and Responsibilities 

On-Site Supervision & Execution Management: 

• Provide direct, hands-on supervision of all civil and structural construction activities on a daily basis, including earthworks, foundations, reinforced concrete works, structural steel, and masonry. 
• Manage and coordinate the daily work of multiple subcontractors and direct labor, ensuring that all teams are working efficiently and collaboratively. 
• Monitor site productivity and progress against the weekly and daily work plans, proactively identifying and resolving any issues that may impact the schedule. 
• Interpret construction drawings, specifications, and method statements to ensure that all works are executed correctly and in full compliance with the design. 

Quality Control & Assurance: 

• Act as the frontline enforcer of the project's quality standards, conducting continuous inspections of workmanship and materials. 
• Raise formal inspection requests for all completed works and coordinate with the Field Engineer and QA/QC team to ensure timely approvals. 
• Identify and report any non-conforming works, ensuring that corrective actions are implemented and documented promptly by the contractor. 
• Ensure that all materials delivered to the site meet the approved specifications and are stored correctly. 

Health, Safety & Environment (HSE): 

• Champion a culture of safety on-site, leading by example and enforcing all project HSE rules and regulations without compromise. 
• Conduct daily site safety walks (Toolbox Talks) and ensure that all workers are equipped with the correct PPE and are following safe work procedures. 
• Review contractor's method statements and risk assessments, particularly for high-risk activities like excavation, lifting operations, and working at height. 
• Immediately report and respond to any safety incidents or near-misses, and assist in the investigation to determine the root cause. 

Reporting & Coordination: 

• Prepare accurate daily and weekly site reports, detailing the progress of works, resource allocation (manpower and equipment), and any delays or challenges encountered. 
• Maintain a detailed site diary, recording all key events, instructions, and weather conditions. 
• Liaise closely with the Structural Field Engineer to resolve technical queries and ensure that all works are approved before proceeding. 
• Coordinate with the project surveyors to ensure that all works are set out and constructed to the correct lines and levels. 

Requirements

• Education: A diploma or higher national diploma in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related building trade is essential. A bachelor's degree is an advantage. 
• Experience: A minimum of 10-15 years of direct, hands-on experience in a construction supervision role (e.g., Foreman, General Foreman, Site Superintendent) on large-scale building or infrastructure projects. 
• Industry Background: Extensive experience working for a major main contractor is mandatory. 
• Technical Proficiency: Expert practical knowledge of construction means, methods, and materials. Must have deep expertise in formwork systems, rebar fixing, concrete pouring and curing, and general construction site logistics. 
• Drawing Interpretation: Must be highly skilled in reading and interpreting complex civil and structural construction drawings and translating them into clear instructions for the workforce.
