Surveying the high seas

“Surveyors deal with bearings and positioning as well as calculations of distance and space, which I still find intriguing,” adds Ahmad Fatin.

The 26-year-old explains that his job can be applied to both land and offshore conditions, to help other engineers complete their tasks by providing expertise on positioning.

“Positioning is a constant feature of our lives that we often overlook.

“For example road markers along highways stating the distance of one point to another are placed there by surveyors.

“Also, the person you see at the side of the road looking through a mini-telescope, which is called a total station, is probably a surveyor,” he adds.

The Geomatics Engineering graduate from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) says he has had both “bitter and sweet” experiences after landing a job as an off-shore surveyor at Fugro, an international solutions company.

“A sunset on the deck of a survey barge out on the open seas is priceless and the serenity of it all puts life into perspective,” he shares.
