Professional experience

Senior Land Surveyor at Traverse Survey And Design since Aug 2025. Supporting projects through client assignments with NICC, Target, Welcome Prime, Power, ARCO, ACC and AEC. Experienced in high-speed railway, marine works, landscaping, infrastructure, piling, structural construction and consultancy site supervision. Carry out topographic surveys, setting out, leveling, control surveys and as-built surveys in accordance with drawings and specifications. Establish and verify benchmarks, grids, coordinates, reference lines, horizontal and vertical control points. Review drawings, check levels, alignments, dimensions and tolerances, and report discrepancies to engineers and consultants. Prepare field notes, survey records, as-built data and handover documentation. NICC: contributed to a 140 km high-speed railway corridor, with direct responsibility for approximately 70 km. Target: supported marine construction survey control. Welcome Prime: performed landscape, hardscape, kerb, walkway and finished-level setting out. Power and ARCO: supported infrastructure, utilities, excavation, foundation, drainage and piling works. ACC: verified foundations, columns and steel structures, including high-accuracy requirements up to +/-2 mm when required. AEC: supported consultancy verification, QA/QC checks and site supervision. Coordinate daily survey activities with engineers, consultants, subcontractors and construction teams to support accurate and timely project delivery.

• •Operates advanced surveying instrumentation and specialized software to capture high precision spatial data.
• •Directs on site surveying teams to maintain technical standards and project timelines across project locations.
• •Enforces best practices in terrestrial and hydrographic survey activities to preserve data integrity.

Performed industrial steel-structure surveys, verified site layouts and dimensions, and extracted accurate coordinates to support engineering drawings and construction execution.

• •Produced high precision surveying engineering drawings and detailed site layouts based on accurate coordinate extraction.
• •Executed dimensional analysis to streamline construction workflows and ensure exact structural execution.

Directed site surveying operations for and utility construction, coordinating control networks and alignment tasks. Maintained engineering drafting standards, managed technical handovers, and ensured compliance with site design specifications.

• •Executed topographic surveys and established localized control networks to maintain spatial accuracy across the project site.
• •Managed site setting out for complex elements, drainage networks, and marble flooring installations.
• •Established vertical control levels for water pipes and hardscape finishes to meet finished floor level requirements.

Executed urban roads surveying operations across the 20 km project scope, overseeing topographic data collection and spatial accuracy for infrastructure development. Coordinated directly with project consultants to manage technical documentation and final sector handovers.

• •Conducted high precision topographic surveys for road networks in Alexandria to capture site features.
• •Drafted surveying engineering drawings and established site specific control points for spatial accuracy.
• •Managed sector setting out and identified excavation strata levels to comply with geotechnical requirements.

Prepared detailed survey layouts, engineering drawings, and AutoCAD files for a 140 km high-speed rail project. Converted survey data, coordinates, levels, alignments, and field measurements into accurate technical drawings to support railway construction activities. Processed and organized SDR files for smooth data transfer between field survey equipment and office-based drafting work. Produced setting-out drawings, control point layouts, alignment drawings, cross-section references, and as-built drawings in accordance with approved project requirements. Managed global and local coordinate systems and prepared coordinate conversion data for site teams. Reviewed drawings and survey information to identify discrepancies in levels, alignments, dimensions, and coordinates before construction execution. Coordinated with surveyors, engineers, and construction teams to provide updated drawings and accurate survey documentation. Supported survey activities for approximately 70 km of railway alignment, maintaining drawing accuracy and control requirements throughout the project.

• •Generated and processed SDR files to transfer data between office software and field survey equipment.
• •Conducted site surveys and as-built verifications comparing field progress against design intent and approved engineering drawings.
