Description

Survey Party Chief

Direct and supervise the survey crew to make exact measurements and determine site layout to support all

disciplines with a quality layout for unit installation. Provide data relevant to the shape, contour, gravitation,

location, elevation, or dimension of land or land features on or near the earth's surface for engineering,

construction, and other purposes.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES & ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Be able to perform all of the principal duties and accountabilities of craft workers under his/her supervision.

• Verify the accuracy of survey data including measurements and calculations conducted at survey sites.

geomorphic and topographic features.

• Determine longitudes and latitudes of important features and boundaries in survey areas using theodolites,

transits, levels, and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS).

• Record the results of surveys including the shape, contour, location, elevation, and dimensions of land or land

features.

• Coordinate findings with the work of engineering and architectural personnel, clients, and others concerned with

projects.

• Establish fixed points for use in making maps, using geodetic and engineering instruments.

• Train Rodman, and helpers, and direct their work in such activities as performing surveys or drafting maps.

• Adjust surveying instruments to maintain their accuracy.

• Lead and support all safety related processes and programs as requested. Engage with your work team to ensure

• Review crew's timecards for correct hours and phase coding.

• Report all accidents and near misses to supervisor. Participate in investigation process as needed. Review

accidents and the causes with employees.

• Complete, and sign off on daily safety planning in the appropriate format. Identify safety hazards you

or other employees may be subject to and take all necessary corrective action to eliminate or mitigate hazards.

Assure all crew members understand, participate, and sign all pre-job safety planning tools at start and end of

shift.

• Understand and respond appropriately to all safety hazards and warning devices (i.e. back-up alarms, smell of

smoke, different colored warning tags, warning sirens).

• Understand, support, implement, and follow lockout/tag out procedures. Attend site specific training and assure

you follow all procedures as out lined in training.

• Follow established safety rules and regulations and maintain a safe and clean work environment.

• Use effective verbal and written communication skills. Add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers and

fractions rapidly and accurately.

• Listen to other employees and supervisor's suggestions, complaints, problems, safety concerns and

recommendations, evaluate each and then devise and implement a plan of action based on that evaluation.

Consult with supervisor and if needed HR on any issues.

• Coordinate and communicate work with other crafts and co-workers on the job. As requested by project

supervision manage other crafts when needed.

• Train/teach safety practices, policies and procedures related to an employee's assigned tasks.

• Perform task planning to safely and efficiently carry out all aspects of that work assigned.

• Plan and communicate with supervisor to assure that an adequate supply of tools, materials and equipment are

available.

• Gain a complete understanding of the scope of work and the related parts of the project. Develop a thorough

understanding of the project plans, specifications and schedule as they relate to that portion of the work assigned.
