You will have the opportunity to work on many different projects across our disciplines. One of our recent, ongoing projects is the Airfield Inspections and Compliance Surveys. The Biennial contracts involved airside inspections of the pavements and visual landing. The pavement inspections identified types and locations of pavement distress, delethalisation of objects, surface drainage inspections and pavement marking compliance.

On joining Pell Frischmann you will become part of an expert, multidisciplinary team where you will gain training and experience in your chosen specialism.

Additionally, you will be enrolled onto our 2 year Graduate programme. This exciting programme is built around the competence requirements of professional institutions and a great way to kick start your career. You will have opportunity to network with others graduates across the Group and develop key skills such as project management, business and personal effectiveness.

• Produce survey drawings, models, and reports using industry-standard software (e.g. AutoCAD, Civil 3D)
• Carry out site visits and fieldwork in accordance with health and safety requirements
• Maintain accurate survey records and data management systems
• Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and external stakeholders
• Support senior surveyors in meeting project deadlines and quality standards

• Familiarity with AutoCAD or similar CAD software (desirable)
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Effective communication and teamwork skills
• Full UK driving licence (or willingness to obtain)

Right to Work Requirements
We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role due to salary thresholds. Applicants must already have the existing, unrestricted right to work in the UK for the full duration of our 2 to 3 year graduate programme. Unfortunately, this means we cannot accept applications where the right to work is time-limited and would expire before the programme ends (July 2029).
