This role will see you kick-start your career in surveying while getting paid to learn and gain hands-on experience. Working alongside experienced surveyors, you’ll get to use cutting-edge technology, including drones, and mix up your work between the outdoors and the office. No two days are the same—you could be collecting data in the field one day and working on high-tech software the next. You’ll develop new skills, travel to different locations, and gain valuable industry experience—all while keeping a great work-life balance. This is a temporary opportunity until February 2026, giving you the chance to immerse yourself in the world of surveying and explore future career pathways.

About you

You’re curious, love working with technology, and enjoy hands-on learning. Whether you're into problem-solving, working outdoors, or using the latest tech to get the job done, this role will give you the skills and experience to build a solid foundation in surveying. You're recognised for your attention to detail, skilled at learning on the go, and eager to take on new challenges. With a positive attitude and a willingness to dive into both study and fieldwork, you’ll thrive in this dynamic and exciting role.

To succeed, you’ll need a solid foundation in Maths coupled with good communication & personable skills. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and take on physical fieldwork, and you have a valid driver’s licence to travel to worksites that aren’t always accessible by public transport.
