Surveyor

Role & responsibilities

• Surveying & Mapping: Conduct accurate topographic, boundary, and detailed operational surveys of open-cast iron ore mines using Total Station, DGPS, and 3D Laser Scanners/Drones.
• Volumetric Estimation: Perform precise monthly measurements for bench advancement, topsoil removal, overburden (OB) dumping, and iron ore pit excavations. Calculate stockpile volumes using AutoCAD and mining software.
• Statutory Plans & Compliance: Prepare, update, and maintain statutory plans, sections, and drawings as required under MMR 1961, MCDR 2017, IBM, and DGMS regulations. Ensure timely submission of annual/periodic return plans to regulatory authorities.
• Bench & Pit Monitoring: Set out control points, pit boundaries, bench heights, slope geometry, and haul road gradients to ensure safe and systematic opencast mining operations.
• Exploration & Drilling Layouts: Mark borehole locations for exploration, blast-hole layouts, and mine development faces in coordination with the geology and mining operations teams.
• Land Acquisition & Lease Boundary Marking: Verify mine lease boundary pillars, forest diversion land, and non-forest land boundaries in alignment with ORSAC and state forest department coordinates.
• Reconciliation & Reporting: Reconcile monthly excavation figures with production and dispatch teams. Maintain survey registers and field books systematically.
