About the Land Surveyor Role:

As part of our technical surveying team, you’ll play a key role in delivering accurate, high-quality survey data across a range of civil engineering sites. 

From planning and data collection to analysis and reporting, your expertise will ensure every project runs safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard.

•  Establishing and managing GPS and control networks.
•  Conducting volumetric calculations and produce detailed reports.
•  Operating multirotor UAVs for aerial data capture (training provided).
•  Completing pre-flight planning, post-flight data processing, and documentation.
•  Preparing method statements and risk assessments.
•  Liaising with clients on-site to ensure survey requirements are met.

In order to be successful in this role you must have: 

•  Minimum 2 years’ experience in land surveying.
•  Proficient in CAD software (AutoCAD, N4ce, or similar).
•  Strong knowledge of GPS networks and survey instruments.
•  Excellent communication, organisation, and teamwork skills.
•  A safety-focused and methodical approach to work.

It would be great if you had: 

•  GVC or CAA Operational Authorisation.
•  Experience with UAV mapping or photogrammetry software.

Applicants must hold a full UK driving licence, be eligible to work in the UK, and live within a commutable distance of Livingston.
