Compensation: From $35.00 per hour, negotiable based on experience. Per diem eligible. Full time traveling field crew.
The Survey Party Chief, Structural Steel and Precast leads survey control, layout and verification for structural steel and precast concrete erection. This individual provides real time survey support to erection crews and keeps the as built record for project close out.
CONTROL, LAYOUT AND VERIFICATION
Establish and maintain primary control networks, benchmarks and elevation datums supporting steel and precast erection.
Lay out anchor bolt locations, base plates and embed positions in advance of erection.
Verify anchor bolt and embed placement and elevations before foundation pours.
Perform pre erection surveys of foundations and pedestals to confirm readiness for setting steel and precast.
Provide real time survey support during erection, including column plumbing, beam alignment and connection verification.
Check and verify precast panel, column and beam placement against erection drawings for position, plumb, elevation and joint tolerance.
Conduct as erected and as built surveys of steel frames and precast structures and compare results against project tolerances.
Monitor and document structural movement, camber and deflection where the project requires it.
Calculate and communicate shim and grout pack requirements from surveyed base plate elevations.
Support grouting and leveling operations for base plates and precast bearing points.
PROJECT COORDINATION
Read and interpret structural drawings, erection plans, connection details and precast shop drawings.
Coordinate daily with steel erectors, ironworkers, precast installation crews and crane operators so survey checks match the erection sequence.
Identify and report discrepancies between fabricated or precast members and the design drawings.
Prepare requests for information where structural, architectural and civil drawings conflict in a way that affects erection.
Maintain as built documentation for connections, joints and grouted base plates for project close out.
Support quantity verification and progress tracking for erected tonnage and precast unit counts.
CREW LEADERSHIP AND SITE OPERATIONS
Supervise survey technicians and instrument persons assigned to erection support.
Plan daily survey tasks around the erection sequence and the crane pick schedule.
Train and mentor crew members in structural steel and precast layout methods.
Manage calibration, maintenance and accountability of assigned survey instruments and equipment.
Maintain daily field reports, deviation logs and survey records tied to erection sequence numbers.
Address client concerns on site and escalate promptly.
REQUIREMENTS
Minimum of five years of experience on a survey crew, including direct experience supporting structural steel or precast concrete construction.
Knowledge of surveying techniques, equipment and software.
Knowledge of structural steel and precast concrete erection methods, sequencing and materials.
Working knowledge of the AISC Code of Standard Practice and PCI erection tolerances.
Ability to read structural shop and erection drawings and precast shop drawings fluently.
Proficiency with robotic total stations, GNSS receivers and precision levels in tolerance critical work.
Familiarity with AutoCAD, Tekla Structures, Revit or comparable modeling and detailing software sufficient to reference model coordinates.
Prior experience leading a crew on steel framed or precast structures is strongly preferred.
Experience on high rise, industrial, stadium or precast parking structure projects is a plus.
Ability to understand work directions and communicate effectively with job site supervisors and colleagues.
High school diploma or GED required. Additional education in surveying, geomatics, construction technology or a related field preferred.
Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
Must pass pre employment drug screening and participate in the company random drug and alcohol testing program.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Duties are performed primarily outdoors with exposure to changing weather conditions.
Moderate physical activity, including somewhat strenuous daily activities of a primarily productive and technical nature.
Walking uneven surfaces in construction excavation work zones and frequent bending at knees and waist.
Must be comfortable working at heights and near active crane lifts and erection operations.
Frequent communication with coworkers and clients; must be able to exchange accurate information.
Work in a very loud, active construction environment.
Travel requirement: 80 to 100 percent to field project sites.
BENEFITS
401(k) with 4 percent company match, health, dental and vision insurance, life insurance, HSA and FSA, paid time off, employee assistance program, employee discount, professional development assistance, tuition reimbursement and retirement plan.
