Position Title:  Track Surveyour

Who We Are:

STC is a joint venture between Aecon and FCC Canada Ltd. that was selected by Metrolinx to deliver the Scarborough Subway Extension – Stations, Rails and Systems (SSE-SRS) package. The Scarborough Subway Extension will bring the TTC’s Line 2 subway service nearly eight kilometers farther into Scarborough. It will extend from Kennedy Station to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road, providing quick and seamless transit for those heading into and out of the downtown core and those travelling within Scarborough. The extension will replace Line 3 (the Scarborough RT), helping to reduce travel times and improve access to jobs, schools, and other key destinations throughout the city.

As part of this project, we are currently looking for a Track Surveyour  to join our team.

What You Will Do:

Track Surveyor

Surveying and Data Collection

• Conduct site surveys for new alignments, track renewals, and maintenance activities.
• Perform precise measurement of track geometry parameters, including alignment, level, gauge, cant, twist, curvature, and gradients.
• Utilize advanced surveying instruments (total stations, GNSS, digital levels, laser scanning systems, and track geometry measurement devices).

Track Setting Out and Alignment Control

• Establish and maintain horizontal and vertical control points along track sections.
• Set out design alignment for new track construction, ensuring correct placement of sleepers, rails, and turnouts.
• Verify track geometry against design tolerances during and after construction.

Data Processing and Reporting

• Process raw survey data using specialized software (AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, Leica Geo Office, Trimble Business Center, or equivalent).
• Produce topographic maps, alignment profiles, digital terrain models (DTMs), and as-built documentation.
• Prepare technical reports and survey records for engineering, quality assurance, and asset management purposes.

Inspection and Monitoring

• Conduct periodic inspections to detect track settlement, deformation, or misalignment.
• Support condition monitoring programs with survey data for predictive maintenance.
• Recommend corrective actions to engineering and maintenance teams based on survey results.

Collaboration and Compliance

• Coordinate closely with the Survey Manager/Chief Surveyor, ensuring all activities meet project and organizational standards.
• Supervise and guide surveyors and assistants to carry out tasks effectively and safely.
• Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and construction crews to ensure survey information is accurate and timely.
• Ensure compliance with railway technical standards and safety regulations, including possession protocols and permit-to-work requirements.

Additional responsibilities

• Complete various field survey requests and measurements as assigned.
• Setup, configure, maintain, and calibrate survey equipment.
• Provide and verify work control lines and control networks to ensure accurate construction.
• Plan and implement survey requirements to facilitate construction activities.
• Assist in evaluating potential field problems, perform quantity calculations, and support quality control.
• Provide cut/fill grids for earthwork operations.
• Perform layout work at different stages of construction as directed by the survey manager.
• Verify as-built conditions requiring surveying techniques.
• Maintain accurate survey records, documentation, and stamped submittals.
• Monitor field work requiring surveying and ensure adherence to specifications.
• Communicate with operations, engineers, and subcontractors to complete survey tasks.
• Manage and maintain as-built information, digital records, and field notes.

Experience You Will Bring:

• Degree or diploma in Surveying, Civil Engineering, Geomatics, or related field.
• Proven experience in railway or infrastructure surveying.
• Strong knowledge of railway track geometry and construction principles.
• Proficiency in surveying equipment (total stations, GNSS, levels, track specific surveying equipment) and software (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, or equivalent).
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, survey methods, and design alignments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Good communication and teamwork skills for coordination with multidisciplinary teams.
• Understanding of health, safety, and railway operational standards. Must have a solid understanding of safety requirements on an active construction site and applicable safety policies.
• Knowledge of survey practices and standards.
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in Construction surveying industry.
• Familiar with wide range of survey duties including earthwork, structural, utility and network survey control.
• Commitment to Safety.
• High degree of accuracy.
• High level of organization with meticulous record keeping.
• Ability to work with a varied team from craft to project management.
