Land Surveyor

A Land Surveyor performs various surveys to map the contours of land for builders, architects and engineers. You might have to chart the topography of a site before the design process can begin and provide information to the construction team. You might be mapping the natural features of a parcel of land or man-made landmarks like buildings and roads. Land Surveyors are involved in a range of projects such as subdivision development, the building of community facilities and the construction of roads and bridges.

Land Surveyors liaise with a range of industry professionals so you’ll need to be a good communicator. You’ll use a range of specialised equipment and technology and will be working in different locations all the time. You’ll need to have an eye for detail and be able to handle multiple projects at once.
