Job description

We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Measured Surveyor / Revit Technician to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out accurate measured building surveys and transforming survey data into high-quality 2D and 3D digital models using Autodesk Revit.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working both on site and in the office, with a strong eye for detail and a practical understanding of buildings, construction and technical drawing.

You will work closely with project managers, designers, architects, engineers and clients to ensure that survey information and Revit models are accurate, coordinated and delivered to a high standard.

Key Responsibilities

The role will involve carrying out detailed measured building surveys across a range of residential, commercial and industrial properties. You will be responsible for accurately recording existing building dimensions, levels, openings, structures, finishes and architectural features, using appropriate surveying equipment and technology.

You will take comprehensive site photographs, maintain clear survey records and identify any discrepancies, access issues or site constraints. You will then process and interpret the survey information to produce accurate existing-condition drawings and digital models.

A key part of the role will be creating accurate Revit models from measured survey information, point clouds, existing drawings and other source data. You will produce plans, elevations, sections, roof plans and other technical drawings directly from Revit models, developing models to the appropriate level of detail and information required for each project.

You will be responsible for maintaining model accuracy and consistency, updating models following site surveys and design changes, and producing high-quality drawing packages for planning, tender, construction and client presentation purposes.

The role will also involve coordinating architectural information with structural, MEP and other consultant information where required. You will liaise with clients, contractors, architects, engineers and other project stakeholders and may be required to attend site meetings and project inspections.

You will be expected to manage your survey and modelling workload effectively, ensuring projects are delivered to agreed deadlines while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and presentation. You will also contribute to improving internal surveying, modelling and BIM processes.

Essential Skills & Experience

The successful candidate will have proven experience in measured building surveying and/or architectural surveying, together with strong working knowledge of Autodesk Revit.

You will have experience producing accurate technical drawings from survey information and a good understanding of building construction, materials and architectural detailing. You should be confident reading and interpreting architectural and construction drawings and have a strong attention to detail and methodical approach to your work.

You will need to be comfortable working independently on site, communicating professionally with clients and other project stakeholders, and managing multiple projects and deadlines. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to project sites is required.

Desirable Experience

Experience using 3D laser scanning and point-cloud data would be highly advantageous, particularly experience incorporating point clouds into Revit workflows.

Knowledge of AutoCAD, BIM workflows and standards, Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 would also be beneficial. Experience working within an architectural, surveying, construction or property environment, together with knowledge of UK Building Regulations and planning requirements, would be an advantage.

Experience producing existing-condition and as-built models would be particularly useful, as would a relevant qualification in surveying, architecture, construction or a related discipline.

Personal Attributes

We are looking for someone who is accurate, detail-focused and committed to producing high-quality work. You should be technically capable and confident using Revit and modern surveying technology, while also having a practical understanding of how buildings are constructed.

The successful candidate will be self-motivated and comfortable managing their own workload, with the ability to work independently when required. Reliability, organisation and the ability to meet deadlines are essential.

You should have good communication skills and be confident dealing with clients and project stakeholders. A collaborative approach and willingness to contribute to the wider team and business are also important
