  • Collaborating with engineers and project managers to resolve challenges

  • 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?

  • 2-5 years' experience in civil surveying, ideally in infrastructure
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD & 12D drafting software
  • Experience using Trimble or Leica survey equipment
  • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
  • Current driver's licence and White Card

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.
