We offer consultancy services, with access to specialist sister companies and partners, to support both public and private-sector clients.

Originally formed in 1926, we have a unique heritage in delivering client-focused solutions that deliver value through our commercial awareness, sustainable aspirations, and innovative approach.

RSBG SE’s mission is to generate sustainable funds for the foundation; so, our work directly contributes to the challenge of fighting global pollution and climate change.
Main Duties
As a Land Surveyor, you’ll play a key part in delivering high-quality surveys across a diverse range of environments — including aviation, rail, highways, land development, buildings, and water. Reporting directly to the Office Principal Surveyor, you’ll work on exciting projects both in the UK and overseas.
You can be based in our Manchester, Wakefield, Sunderland or Leeds offices, and will have full IT support for remote and home working when required. We’re looking for someone who’s self-motivated, organised, and able to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to the highest standards — often with minimal supervision.
Flexibility is important. You’ll need to regularly travel to sites across the UK, with the possibility of occasional overseas assignments, and be willing to work some night and weekend shifts when needed. You will be needing to use your own vehicle for this role too, but expenses will be paid.

* Full UK driving licence and willingness to undertake regular drug and alcohol screening
* CSCS accreditation (required)
* Network Rail PTS accreditation (desirable, but not essential)

Technical Skills
You’ll be confident using:
* Leica Total Stations, digital levels, GNSS receivers, and HD laser scanners
