Geospatial Land Surveyor – Aeronautical Data & Aviation Projects
Location: Westcott, Buckinghamshire (office-based)
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Employment: Full-time, permanent
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Land Surveyor to join our Aeronautical Data Department based at our Westcott offices in Buckinghamshire. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of aviation surveying, supporting airport operators, aviation authorities, and international clients with the collection, processing, and management of high-accuracy aeronautical data.
Unlike traditional construction or development surveying roles, this position combines precision surveying, geospatial data management, and international aviation projects. The successful candidate will work on projects that directly support flight safety and the operation of airports worldwide.
The Role
The successful candidate will:
- Undertake high-accuracy surveys at airports and aviation facilities in the UK and overseas.
- Collect aeronautical survey data using GNSS, total stations, laser scanning, and other specialist equipment.
- Survey runways, taxiways, navigation aids, obstacles, and airport infrastructure.
- Process, validate, and quality-check survey information.
- Prepare technical reports and deliverables for aviation clients.
- Work closely with aeronautical data specialists, engineers, and aviation professionals.
- Travel internationally to support client projects.
