QTS are looking to recruit a junior surveyor to join our well-established survey department but will also accept applications from experienced assistants looking to take the next step in their career.
This role would best suit someone with a good basic knowledge of topographic surveying/setting out who is looking to add to their skills and learn from an experienced and multi-skilled survey team.
QTS is a company that has continued to invest heavily in the survey department with the purchase of new Leica TS16 total stations, Leica AP20, Leica GS18t GPS kits, automated monitoring system, DJI M300 and M350 drones with a variety of payloads.
