preparador de la pendiente [that's the meaning, but probably not the term]....topógrafo????
preparador de la pendiente
to set or prepare the grade (preparar la pendiente)
It also may have to do with marking parts of the grade, in which case it MAY be related to the job of "topógrafo" or "topógrafo de campo"
But i think topógrafo requires more expertise than gradesetter.
other related terms for those who wish to try google: terraplén, nivelación, explanación, capaceo, rasante, línea de pendiente, taludes

No estoy muy segura, pero encontré un listado de puestos de trabajo donde aparece definido escuetamente como 'grade checker' y se indica que el cargo lo puede desempeñar un mecánico u otro tipo de persona.
Es sólo tentativo, por si te sirve.
