Role Description

Our client is now looking for a Utility Surveyor who has a track record in Utility and GPR surveys to help with our expanding workload within the housing, road, utilities, and construction industries. The successful candidate will also receive training in ground gas/ground water monitoring to support the company in their ongoing site monitoring programme.

The ideal candidate will have a strong focus on high-level of service with a professional approach, determination, and ambition.

This is for work nationally, but most of the work will be in the south and southeast of England. The role of the surveyor will be threefold:

Our client operates predominantly within the south of the UK but work may be expected UK wide from time to time. The role will be working both cross company and cross team.

They are looking for someone specifically based in the Hampshire, West Surrey, East Berkshire, or Essex area.
