Right to work in the UK required; sponsorship not available. Are you an ambitious, technically proficient Utility Mapping Surveyor looking to advance your career on high-profile infrastructure projects within a Tier 1 Specialist Consultancy? A Leading Specialist is expanding its utility surveying operations and seeking a highly skilled Utility Mapping Surveyor to cover Oxford and the surrounding regions. This is a pivotal role offering the chance to take complex underground mapping schemes from field to finish while delivering robust, safety-critical subsurface data to key infrastructure clients.
The Opportunity: You will play a vital role in delivering comprehensive underground utility detection and mapping solutions in strict accordance with industry standards. Your day-to-day remit involves:
- Operating Electromagnetic Locators (EML) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems to accurately detect and trace subsurface infrastructure to PAS 128 specifications.
