About the Role / Are you up for the challenge?

As a survey manager working on the Inland Rail Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 Project you will be responsible for overseeing and managing all aspects of surveying activities within the project. The role includes planning and coordinating survey operations, collecting and analysing survey data, and ensuring that accurate measurements and calculations are obtained.
