You will receive on-the-job training that will eventually progress you to surveyor level status. Approved Development Scheme qualifications within the Chartered
Institute of Civil Engineering Surveyors are also attainable through a company scheme. The work will give you an opportunity to travel all over the UK, and the types of projects you will be involved in include:

• River Surveys
• Still Water Surveys
• Near Shore Surveys
• Setting Out
• Topographic Surveys
  The successful applicant should ideally possess the following skills and attributes:
• Hardy outdoor type
• Physically fit
• A real team player with aspirations to grow within the company
• Understanding of technology and computers
• Previous work experience is a must, preferably in an outdoor job such as
  building, farming, or forestry (no previous surveying experience is needed)

• Ability to work on your own initiative

A Junior Land Surveyor is a step up in pay and responsibility from a trainee land surveyor. You will know every aspect of completing at least one type of survey, from preparation to delivery (e.g., river survey, topographic survey, bathymetric survey, etc.). As you gain more experience working on your own initiative, you will take on different tasks and learn to apply survey techniques to a wider range of projects of varying sizes. You will be responsible for leading your own training and working with Surveyors/Senior Surveyors to fill in knowledge gaps.

You should be on the pathway to gaining your CICES membership or equivalent.

Once you have proven you can successfully work on your own initiative and make decisions for a wide range of projects, you will be ready to move up to surveyor status. Fifty percent of the time should be spent leading your own projects or leading your own team within a larger project. We offer a competitive package to the successful applicant, including a good salary, fully paid overtime, overnight inconvenience benefits, company phone, workplace pension, and the chance to progress your career and gain a professional qualification within the surveying industry.
