Assistant Surveying Manager
We're looking for an experienced Land / Site Engineering Surveyor who wants to move beyond day-to-day site work and into a technical leadership role within one of the North West's leading surveying companies. This is a predominantly office-based position, working alongside the Surveying Manager to maintain and continually improve the quality, consistency and technical standards of the surveying department.
While occasional site visits will be required for project reviews, technical support and quality inspections, the role is focused on technical oversight, quality assurance, mentoring and delivering excellence across the business rather than undertaking routine surveys.
For the right individual, this role provides a structured pathway towards becoming a Technical Survey Manager as the business continues to grow.
The Role
Working directly alongside the Survey Manager, you'll become the second technical lead within the business and play a key role in ensuring survey deliverables are produced to the highest possible standard while supporting the development of the survey team and helping shape the future technical direction of the company through your experience gained to date.
This is not a day-to-day operational management role and is not a traditional site-based surveying position.
- Reviewing and quality checking survey drawings and deliverables prior to issue.
- Supporting and maintaining company-wide technical standards and procedures.
- Assisting with quality assurance and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Providing technical guidance to Surveyors, Principal Surveyors and CAD Technicians.
- Mentoring and developing junior members of the surveying team.
- Supporting complex survey planning and methodology selection.
- Assisting with technical aspects of quotations and tender submissions.
- Working closely with the Survey Manager to improve workflows and efficiencies.
- Identifying opportunities to improve quality, consistency and profitability.
- Supporting the implementation of new technology, software and surveying techniques.
- Carrying out occasional site visits for technical support, quality inspections and project reviews where required.
