Thanks, Bill. I ended up with tunnel surveying engineer. There is probably another term used in the trade but this did for my purposes.

"self" explained? Brigid, I wonder if you have gone some way towards answering this your self back in 2008 (https://www.proz.com/kudoz/norwegian_to_english/construction...
This seems possibly to point in the direction of your new word meaning something like "staking(or setting)-out engineer for tunnels". See the following:

This is a bit of speculation on my part but it might help you find your way to a better source! Best regards.
