Hydrographic Surveyor / Party Chief
Responsible for executing single-beam and multibeam bathymetric surveys, sensor offsets calibration, tidal datum reductions, and daily survey logs aboard survey vessels.
Key Responsibilities:
- •Mobilize and calibrate echo sounders, GNSS receivers, motion sensors (IMU), and sound velocity profilers (SVP).
- •Execute pre-survey patch tests (latency, pitch, roll, yaw) and document calibration records.
- •Operate acquisition navigation software (Hypack & Hysweep / Qinsy) during active survey lines.
- •Coordinate with client site representatives, port authorities, and vessel masters for safe daily survey execution.
- •Conduct preliminary raw data QA/QC, cross-line analysis, and vertical datum verification before demobilization.
Requirements & Qualifications:
- ✓Degree or Diploma in Geomatics, Hydrography, Marine Science, Civil Engineering, or Land Surveying.
- ✓Hands-on experience with multibeam echo sounders (MBES) and single-beam systems (SBES).
- ✓Proficiency in Hypack & Hysweep or Qinsy acquisition suites.
- ✓Familiarity with IHO S-44 survey standards and datum transformations (WGS 84, UTM, MSL, Chart Datum).
- ✓Valid medical fitness certificate for nearshore and offshore vessel embarkation.
Hydrographic Data Processing Engineer
Focuses on bathymetric sounding validation, noise filtering, CUBE surface modeling, volume computation, and preparation of engineering-grade survey charts.
Key Responsibilities:
- •Clean and process high-density multibeam acoustic point clouds and single-beam soundings.
- •Apply dynamic tidal reduction models, sound velocity profile corrections, and vessel draft adjustments.
- •Compute pre- and post-dredging cut/fill volumes using TIN models and cross-section methods.
- •Draft hydrographic survey charts, bathymetric contours, and fair sheets in AutoCAD Civil 3D or GIS environments.
- •Compile comprehensive technical survey reports, QA/QC statistical tables, and deliverable dossiers.
Requirements & Qualifications:
- ✓Bachelor’s degree in Geoinformatics, Civil Engineering, Marine Technology, or related discipline.
- ✓Strong command of Hypack, Qinsy, CARIS HIPS/SIPS, AutoCAD, or QGIS/ArcGIS.
- ✓Solid grasp of geodesy, coordinate systems, and volumetric calculation algorithms.
- ✓High attention to detail regarding sounding filtering and vertical accuracy metrics.
Topographic & Drone (UAV) Survey Specialist
Leads aerial photogrammetry, airborne LiDAR data acquisition, and RTK ground control networks for port landward infrastructure and coastal intertidal zones.
Key Responsibilities:
- •Plan and execute autonomous UAV survey flight missions over coastal sites, ports, and reclamation zones.
- •Establish high-accuracy Ground Control Points (GCPs) and check points using RTK/PPK GNSS receivers.
- •Process aerial drone imagery to generate georeferenced orthomosaics, DSM/DTM surfaces, and dense 3D point clouds.
- •Merge terrestrial drone elevation models with nearshore bathymetric soundings for seamless topo-bathy datasets.
- •Ensure strict compliance with DGCA drone flight regulations and local airspace safety approvals.
Requirements & Qualifications:
- ✓Valid DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) for small/medium commercial drones.
- ✓Proven experience operating commercial survey drones with photogrammetry or LiDAR payloads.
- ✓Proficiency with photogrammetric processing tools (Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, DJI Terra) and CAD/GIS exports.
- ✓Practical knowledge of RTK base/rover setups, total station measurements, and geodetic coordinate transformations.
