Site Surveyor Supervisor

Opportunity knocks for an experienced Mining Site Survey Supervisor, to work on a landmark APAC ‘mega project’, and at the greenfield stage.

Offering the rare opportunity to be involved prior to production, and to ‘own’ all things Site Survey.

Working on an expat FIFO basis, from any global, point of hire..

The Site Surveyor Supervisor plays a critical role in overseeing and managing all surveying operations at a construction site. This role ensures precise measurements, accurate data collection, and adherence to project specifications. The supervisor will lead survey teams, manage modern survey technologies, and integrate drone-based surveying for enhanced efficiency. Additionally, the role includes post-processing of survey data to ensure quality and usability.
