  • Assisting with as-built surveys and final project documentation
  • Training and supporting junior team members where required
  • Maintaining equipment and ensuring calibration is up to date

What's in your toolbox?

You're the kind of person who thrives on precision, stays calm under pressure, and works seamlessly with site teams to get things right the first time.
You enjoy variety, take pride in your work, and have a sharp eye for detail that ensures every project runs smoothly.
