Company Overview:

Leggwork is working with a leading name in Land and Utility surveying, currently engaged on some of the UK’s largest and most high-profile infrastructure projects. With a strong pipeline of work across civil engineering, highways and utilities frameworks, they are now looking to bring in a Senior Utility Surveyor to support delivery across major schemes throughout the South East.

This is an opportunity to step into a senior role within a forward-thinking survey business, where your technical input will help shape nationally significant infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

As a Senior Utility Surveyor, you will play a lead role in delivering complex utility surveys to support ongoing project delivery. Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing and conducting Utility and PAS128 surveys to a high technical standard
• Mentoring junior surveyors and supporting team development on site
• Using a range of specialist equipment including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Cat and Genny
• Reviewing and compiling survey data for reporting and client submission
• Liaising with clients, engineers and project teams to ensure smooth delivery
• Maintaining strong health and safety standards on site

Required Qualifications and Experience:

• Formal surveying qualification such as QCF, ProQual Level 5 or equivalent
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in Utility surveying with strong knowledge of PAS128
• Proficiency with GPR and electromagnetic location tools
• Ability to lead or supervise a team on site
• Strong understanding of safety procedures and working practices within civil infrastructure
• Full UK driving licence (company van provided)

Desirable:

• Background in civil engineering, highways, construction or utilities sectors
• CSCS or equivalent site card

Benefits:

• Salary between £42,000 – £55,000 depending on experience
• Company van, fuel card and all necessary equipment provided
• Opportunity to work on flagship infrastructure projects across the UK
• Structured and real progression and support in a growing team
• Perks including premium gym access, health benefits and ongoing training

Earning Potential – How This Role Pays Beyond the Basic
While the basic salary sits between £42,000 – £55,000, this role offers strong additional earning potential beyond salary alone.
Surveyors benefit from:

• Per-job payment structure, allowing multiple jobs completed in a day to be paid multiple times
• Overtime rates for CAD work, rather than being absorbed into salary
• Regular overtime availability across both site and office-based work
• Structured development that leads to higher-value work and progression into senior roles

With consistent workload and reasonable overtime uptake, total annual earnings of £70,000 – £100,000+ are realistic, making this a strong option for surveyors looking to increase earnings while developing their skillset.
