Location
Central UK (Providing National coverage) Due to hiring timescales, sponsorship is unavailable for this opportunity. The Opportunity An exceptional opening has emerged for a technically astute Utilities Surveyor to join a Tier 1 Geospatial Consultancy. Established for over 50 years, this specialist firm is a "safe pair of hands" for high-compliance infrastructure and heritage projects across the UK.
Unlike high-volume residential firms, this consultancy prioritizes "quality over speed," offering a structured environment where you take full ownership of the project lifecycle—from initial site survey through to final data processing and CAD production. This is an ideal move for a well-rounded professional seeking autonomy and the opportunity to work with high-end Leica/Trimble kit.
Technical Essentials To be successful in this high-compliance remit, candidates must demonstrate a "whole package" skill set, balancing field expertise with office-based technical proficiency:
-
Qualifications
Minimum QCF Level 3 in Utility Mapping and Surveying. CSCS card is mandatory; NRSWA (Street Works) and RICS (AssocRICS/MRICS) status are highly advantageous.
-
Site Expertise
Proven track record of a minimum of two years delivering utility surveying work on-site, managing projects independently, and ensuring adherence to safety and quality standards.
-
Data Processing
Proficient in processing survey data and producing high-accuracy deliverables/drawings.
-
Software Proficiency
Strong CAD capability is essential. Experience with BricsCAD, AutoCAD, or Revit for BIM integration is required.
-
Equipment
Competency with GPR, Radio Detection (EML), and GPS/Total Station (Leica P-Series/Cyclone preferred).
The Package
-
Salary
Circa £40,000 (Subject to experience and technical experience).
-
Equipment
Access to industry-leading surveying technology and software.
-
Professional Development
Clear pathways for technical progression.
-
Culture
A stable, premium consultancy environment with high staff retention and a focus on technical excellence over "burnout" metrics.
