Apprenticeship Programme
Geospatial survey engineers play a critical role in all the world’s most exciting and complex construction projects, applying geospatial expertise to solve real‑world engineering and environmental challenges. As part of the apprenticeship, you will capture geospatial data by carrying out site surveys to produce accurate digital 2D or 3D drawings, 3D models and data reports. These surveys help de‑risk projects by providing essential geospatial data on the features and contours of the land or a building or helping projects by giving them utility services data to avoid service strikes, which could be costly and dangerous. On completion of the programme you’ll have gained recognised accreditation, offering the opportunity to build a rewarding and successful career.
