You can be based in our London, Croydon, Luton or Birmingham office, and will have full IT support for remote and home working when required. We're looking for someone who's self motivated, organised, and able to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to the highest standards - often with minimal supervision.

• Proficient in use of total stations, GNSS/GPS surveying equipment, and digital levels.
• Experience using Trimble Business Center, Leica Infinity, or similar processing software.

Preferred Experience

• Good understanding of coordinate systems, datum, and data management.
• Knowledge of relevant legislation (e.g. Land Registration Act, CDM Regulations).
• Understanding of sustainable surveying technologies and digital twins.

Essential Skills

• Strong attention to detail and problem solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Effective communication and reporting skills.
• Good organisational and time management abilities.
