  • Strong practical setting-out experience using GPS, total stations and levelling equipment.
  • Experience across earthworks, drainage, roads, structures or reinforced concrete.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications.
  • Experience with quality assurance, inspections, ITPs and as-built records.
  • Good understanding of construction methods, materials and technical standards.
  • Experience on major infrastructure, industrial or energy projects would be advantageous.
