Frequently Asked Questions About the Site Foreman Position

As a Survey Technician, you are responsible for staking out and surveying construction and infrastructure projects. This means using surveying instruments (such as GPS, total stations, and 3D laser scanners) to precisely determine and verify locations and construction points. You then input the survey data into software (CAD/GIS) to ensure that construction and implementation proceed correctly.

Without precise measurements, no construction or infrastructure project can be carried out correctly and safely. Your work ensures that foundations, walls, pipes, and other structural components are placed exactly where they belong. This prevents errors, delays, and extra costs.

At Geo-ICT, you’ll work not only with traditional surveying methods, but also with modern geoinformatics and digital surveying equipment. You’ll receive training and guidance—even if you have no prior experience—and learn to work with tools such as GPS, total stations, laser scanners, and CAD/GIS software.

As a Site Foreman, you can work on a wide variety of projects: from residential and commercial construction to infrastructure, road, and civil engineering projects. Exactly what you’ll be working on depends in part on your interests and which client you’re assigned to.

A technical vocational or higher vocational education degree is preferred. Additionally, attention to detail, spatial awareness, a keen eye for detail, a willingness to work in the field, and an interest in geoinformation are important. Experience with surveying equipment or CAD/GIS is a plus, but not required—Geo-ICT provides in-house training.

No—you can start even without experience. Geo-ICT offers a traineeship that includes training and guidance to help you become a fully qualified quantity surveyor.

You’ll start with a one-year contract, with the possibility of a permanent position. Salary starts at approximately €2,500 gross per month. You’ll receive training in measurement methods, software, and geoinformation, gain experience working with various clients, and often be provided with a company car due to work at different locations.

You often start on-site: setting up measuring equipment, establishing reference points, and staking out or surveying sites or building components. Later, you process the measurement data in CAD or GIS software and verify that the results match the design and plans. You then coordinate with the project team on next steps.

You can advance to roles such as Senior Quantity Surveyor, Civil Engineering Planner, Land Surveyor, or specialist in geodata/surveying tasks, depending on your interests and career development.

You can apply directly through this job posting by filling out your details and cover letter and uploading your resume; this is usually followed by an introductory interview. If you’re unsure whether your profile is a good fit, you can also contact us for more information with no obligation.
