Full job description

Overview

The Gradesperson is responsible for establishing, verifying, and maintaining line and grade for all earthworks, granular, drainage, and roadway operations. Working from engineered drawings, survey control, and layout stakes, the Gradesperson provides continuous grade direction to equipment operators and crew members to ensure excavation depths, subgrade elevations, granular lifts, pipe inverts, and finished surfaces are constructed to specified tolerance. Work is performed on municipal road reconstruction, watermain and sewer installation, curb and sidewalk preparation, and related civil projects carried out under Strada's standing offer with the City of Ottawa and other municipal and private clients.

Duties

Grade Control & Layout
Establish and maintain line and grade for excavation, subgrade, granular placement, drainage structures, and finished surfaces.
Interpret survey stakes, offsets, cut/fill notations, benchmarks, and control points; transfer design elevations accurately to the work area.
Set grade hubs, blue tops, string lines, and batter boards as required by the work method.
Provide continuous grade direction to equipment operators during production.
Verify cross-fall, crown, superelevation, and drainage flow to ensure positive drainage is achieved.
Re-establish lost or disturbed control points and notify the Site Supervisor when survey layout is required.
Confirm proposed grades against existing conditions and flag conflicts or drawing discrepancies before work proceeds.

Earthworks, Granular & Drainage Support

Check excavation depths, trench bottoms, bedding thickness, and pipe invert elevations prior to placement.
Verify granular A and granular B lift thicknesses and confirm compaction lifts meet specification.
Set and confirm rim elevations for maintenance holes, catch basins, valve boxes, and other surface structures.
Provide grade for curb, sidewalk, and asphalt base preparation in coordination with the concrete and paving crews.
Identify over-excavation or under-excavation conditions early and direct corrective action to minimize rework.
Assist with locating and protecting existing utilities in accordance with locate documentation.

Instruments & Equipment

Operate, set up, and maintain rotating lasers, laser receivers, builder's levels, grade rods, and hand levels.
Operate GPS rover and machine control systems (Trimble, Topcon, or equivalent) where assigned to the project.
Perform daily instrument checks and benchmark verification; report any suspected loss of calibration immediately.
Maintain instruments, tripods, prisms, and batteries in clean, charged, and serviceable condition.
Secure all survey and grade equipment at the end of each shift.

Quality Control

Verify all grades meet drawing tolerances prior to sign-off for the next phase of work.
Ensure grading and granular works comply with OPSS 206 (Grading), OPSS 314 (Granular Base, Subbase and Surface), OPSS 401 (Trenching, Backfilling and Compacting), and applicable City of Ottawa standards.
Record as-built elevations and document any approved field deviations from design grade.
Coordinate with inspection and testing agencies during compaction and material testing.
Report grade-related deficiencies to the Site Supervisor promptly, with proposed correction.

Health, Safety & Compliance

Work in compliance with OHSA and Ontario Regulation 213/91 at all times.
Maintain constant awareness of heavy equipment swing radius, blind spots, and travel paths; establish and confirm eye contact with operators before entering the work zone.
Observe trench and excavation entry requirements, including protective systems, access/egress, and soil type restrictions; never enter an unsupported excavation.
Participate in daily pre-shift safety talks and hazard assessments.
Maintain traffic control integrity and remain within protected work areas when working adjacent to live traffic.
Wear all required PPE, including high-visibility apparel, hard hat, safety footwear, and eye protection.
Report all incidents, near-misses, and hazards to the Site Supervisor immediately.

Administration

Complete daily grade sheets, cut/fill records, and as-built elevation notes.
Track quantities associated with grading and granular operations for production reporting.
Maintain organized records of stake sheets, layout notes, and revised drawings issued to the field.
Record field changes and client-directed extras; communicate to Site Supervisor promptly.
