What We’re Looking For
Proven experience as an Engineering Surveyor, Setting Out Engineer, or Site Surveyor
Background working with Tier One contractors or on major infrastructure projects
Strong knowledge of Leica or Trimble instrumentation
Experience working in live operational environments (airports, rail, highways, utilities)
Ability to work twilight hours (approximately 16:00–00:00 or similar)
Airside pass experience beneficial but not essential
