- 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

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 WHEN the volume of work is available.
Surveyors benefit from:
- 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
