Wright Engineering is looking to recruit an experienced Site Surveyor to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis.
The role will be based primarily on one of our projects in North London, with travel to other customer sites across the UK as required. The successful candidate should therefore be comfortable with working away from home when necessary.
We are looking for a technically capable and experienced surveyor with a strong understanding of construction and engineering environments, who can work accurately and confidently alongside site management, engineers, and installation teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Setting out mechanical equipment, structural steelwork, supports, and associated installations using coordinates and dimensioned engineering drawings.
- Operating precision total stations and other specialist surveying equipment.
- Establishing and checking control points, datums, levels, and benchmarks.
- Carrying out dimensional checks and verification surveys of installed works.
- Completing as-built surveys and producing accurate as-built information.
- Compiling and submitting survey reports and records in line with client requirements.
- Identifying and reporting discrepancies between drawings, coordinates, and actual site conditions.
- Liaising closely with site management, engineers, and installation teams regarding setting-out requirements.
- Maintaining accurate, traceable, and well-organised survey records throughout the works.
- Supporting the wider project team with surveying and dimensional control requirements as needed.
