Fly and process drone surveys for site topography, volumes, and progress tracking

Review site layouts and grading plans for accuracy against design drawings

Support quality control on granular materials and aggregate placement

Coordinate with survey and field supervision on staking, layout issues,



and file updates as they come up

Assist the estimating team with take-offs and drawing review from time to time

What You Bring

Experience with civil CAD software and GPS/machine control systems

Drone survey experience; commercial (RPAS) pilot certificate an asset

Comfort with granular/aggregate QC processes an asset

Ability to read civil drawings and grading plans accurately

Comfort working under field time pressure — files and layout checks often need fast turnaround

Civil Engineering Technology diploma or related credential an asset, not required

Proficiency with Microsoft Office; exposure to B2W (Bid2Win) an asset

Reliable transportation and ability to work in a rural location
