Digital & Measured Surveying Manager - JCP

Our client is seeking an experienced Digital & Measured Surveying Manager to lead the delivery and development of its digital surveying, measured surveying, BIM and Information Management services
.

The ideal candidate will have a strong practical understanding of construction surveying and reality capture, including combining scan and drone point clouds, producing floor plans, elevations and sections, undertaking check measurements and interpreting existing buildings to establish dimensions such as floor-to-floor heights and structural slab thicknesses.

The Digital & Measured Surveying Manager will oversee the full project lifecycle
:

• preparing fee proposals
• coordinating survey teams and site visits
• undertaking and managing laser scanning, drone and total station surveys, point-cloud processing and CAD/model production
• quality assurance before issue to clients

Alongside project delivery, the role will drive improvements in digital workflows and technology, support ISO 19650 compliance and the client's Golden Thread approach, and coordinate project invoicing with the internal accounts team.

You'll work closely with architects, building surveyors, structural engineers and other construction professionals to ensure survey information is accurate, practical and suitable for design, assessment and project delivery.

• Manage digital and measured surveying projects from initial enquiry and fee proposal through to delivery and client issue.
• Prepare fee proposals, define survey scopes and assess resource, programme and commercial requirements.
• Organise and undertake surveys using laser scanners, drones and total stations, coordinating site teams, access and project deadlines.
• Oversee point-cloud processing, registration, alignment and combination of scan and drone datasets within Nav Vis IVION or equivalent software.
• Produce and review survey outputs including floor plans, elevations, sections, check measurements, point clouds and 3D models.
• Interpret survey data and existing buildings to establish key dimensions including floor levels, floor-to-floor heights, structural slab thicknesses and building geometry.
• Review CAD and model deliverables, provide technical feedback and coordinate amendments before formal QA and client issue.
• Ensure survey data, point clouds, CAD drawings and models meet agreed specifications and internal quality standards.
• Coordinate project invoicing with the internal accounts team, ensuring fees are raised accurately and promptly.
• Develop digital and measured surveying workflows, improving efficiency, consistency and quality.

• Proven track record working on large scale residential and commercial projects.
• Strong practical experience of laser scanning, drone surveying and total station surveying in existing buildings and construction environments.
• Experience producing measured survey information including floor plans, elevations, sections, check measurements and 3D models.
• Practical experience combining, registering and aligning point clouds from multiple survey sources using Nav Vis IVION or equivalent software.
• Ability to interpret building construction and survey data to determine levels, heights, slab thicknesses and other key building dimensions.
• Strong understanding of CAD and Revit production, drawing/model review and quality assurance processes.
• Experience managing survey projects, fee proposals, programmes, resources, client expectations and commercial administration.
• Ability to work effectively with architects, building surveyors and other construction professionals to understand survey requirements and deliver appropriate information.
• Understanding of BIM, ISO 19650, the UK BIM Framework and relevant building safety and Golden Thread requirements.
• Familiarity with Common Data Environment platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, Asite, Dalux or Viewpoint for Projects.
• Strong leadership, organisational and communication skills, with excellent attention to detail and a practical…
