• Maintain, inspect, and calibrate Trimble devices and related equipment to ensure reliable operation and measurement accuracy.
• Ensure proper data logging, file naming, version control, backups, and validation of layout and as-built information.
• Ensure all layout, modeling, coordination, and design-support activities comply with applicable codes, project specifications, approved construction documents, company standards, and quality requirements.
