About The Role

EKFB is proud to have been appointed by HS2 to deliver civil engineering works across an 80km section of the new high-speed rail link between the Chiltern Tunnel and Long Itchington Wood. We have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Land Surveyor to join us on our Twyford to Greatworth (T2G) section based in the Brackley area.

You will manage and coordinate the section's survey team to take a proactive approach and reasonable care to ensure the health, safety, and wellbeing of themselves and others. You will ensure the section's survey station network is established, communicated, and made available to all survey and engineering personnel to download before construction begins.

You will also provide a topographical survey in preparation for engineering works on site. In addition, you will review with the engineering team that sufficient information is available in the correct format to set out the works/enable machine control construction in accordance with the programme, and to resolve any inconsistencies in the information provided, including feedback of any changes made.

You will facilitate setting out the works in accordance with contract requirements before the work is programmed to start. You will arrange, where required, instruction/training to members of the engineering team who may not be familiar with survey equipment/software being used.

You will also assist the Chief Land Surveyor where required to develop survey budgets, assess and review actual costs, taking actions where appropriate, report any changes to the project manager and commercial team, and help with anything else deemed necessary.
