About this opportunity

As a Geodetic Survey Engineer, you will be the technical expert behind our high-accuracy positioning work. You will plan and run control surveys, process GNSS and levelling data, and make sure every project is tied accurately to the correct UAE coordinate and height systems. Key Responsibilities Plan, design and carry out geodetic control surveys, including GNSS static and RTK observations, precise levelling and total station traverses. Establish, check and maintain survey control networks and benchmarks for construction, infrastructure and land projects. Process and adjust survey data using professional software, then review results for accuracy and quality. Handle coordinate transformations between WGS84 and local systems such as the Dubai Local Transverse Mercator (DLTM) grid and local datums. Prepare clear survey reports, control schedules, drawings and deliverables that meet client and authority standards. Guide and support surveyors, party chiefs and survey assistants on site. Coordinate with project engineers, clients and government authorities on survey requirements. Follow all health, safety and environmental rules, including safe work in hot weather and near traffic or construction. Keep accurate records of field notes, raw data and calculations for audit and future reference. Skills and Knowledge Strong understanding of geodesy, map projections, datums and coordinate systems. Skilled with GNSS receivers, total stations and digital or auto levels (Leica, Trimble, Topcon or similar). Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and data checking methods. Clear written and spoken English; Arabic or Urdu/Hindi is a plus. Careful, detail-focused and able to work independently as well as in a team. Working Conditions Regular outdoor fieldwork in hot and humid conditions, with occasional long days or weekend work depending on project needs. Travel between project sites across the UAE. Bachelor’s degree in Geomatics, Geodesy, Surveying or Civil Engineering ( MANDATORY ). 5 to 8 years of hands-on experience in geodetic or control surveying, ideally including work in the UAE or GCC. Professional certification or membership in a recognised surveying body is a plus. A valid UAE driving licence is preferred.
