    • Interpret construction plans, specifications, and engineering documents to support project execution.
    • Communicate clearly and professionally with estimators, project managers, survey teams, and operations staff on a daily basis.
    • Collaborate across departments to optimize survey deliverables and improve workflow efficiency.

  • Safety and Professional Standards
    • Uphold high standards of safety, quality, and productivity in all tasks and interactions.
    • Follow RNGD safety policies and promote safe work practices across all technical and field-support activities.

Preferred Qualifications
  • 3-5 years of experience in Construction Survey, Dimensional Control, Industrial Measurement, or a related field.
  • Proficiency in CAD software, with experience in Trimble Business Center and/or AutoCAD Civil 3D.
  • Strong understanding of field survey procedures, methods, and equipment.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction plans to produce field layouts, estimates, and 3D models.
  • Proficiency with fundamental math including area, volume, geometry, proportions, and percentages.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including providing remote technical support.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor others in CAD and survey operations.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Procore, and B2W.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating across multiple departments.
  • Commitment to safe work practices and adherence to company safety standards.

    • Learns and adapts quickly to evolving surveying technologies, machine control systems, and construction software.
    • Maintains a high level of accuracy, organization, and attention to detail in all deliverables.
