Summary
A surveyor with 3 years of experience in the field of technical & geospatial techniques with core application both in construction & mining industry. A well- mannered, self-driven, passionate and hardworking individual. In my experience i have proven to be an individual who managed great cooperation and partake in leadership skills in taking site responsibilities alongside my senior surveyor. I have taken pressure that comes with weekly, mid-month, month end surveys as well as calculations and making sure all the survey report checks are done with Contractor Surveyors and Mine Managers. Taken responsibility to ensure that all the construction was built according to the recommended specifications as per the Engineers Drawings. I worked for a consulting survey company that is carried a legal appointment according to the chapter 17 of Mine Health and Safety Act and carried survey services in different mines in South Africa. The company runs as associates, Dan Ferreira Technical Services as an appointed Mine Surveyor and Azimuth Technical Services/Precon Survey Services as a company that takes care of the survey services.
