Survey Technician (Measured Building Surveys)
This is a hands-on, site-based surveying role.
Salary: £35,000 to £40,000, dependent on experience
Location: London, with regular travel to project sites across the UK
Type: Permanent, full-time
Level: Graduate / entry level
Software: Matterport, laser scanning and point cloud, Vectorworks
Sectors: Hospitality, leisure, retail, and commercial fit-out
About the Business
A London design and project delivery group working across hospitality, leisure, retail, and commercial interiors. Two closely linked businesses, one integrated project team: the designers who draw it, and the delivery team who build it.
Survey information sits right at the front of that process. Get it right and everything downstream runs cleanly. Get it wrong and everyone finds out later, expensively.
About the Role
You will be the person who goes to site first.
Attending live buildings, occupied spaces, and construction environments, you will carry out detailed measured surveys and capture the measurements, photographs, spatial data, and technical detail the design team needs to produce accurate existing-condition drawings. Matterport, laser scanners, and point-cloud capture are your day-to-day kit, and everything you collect needs to land cleanly in Vectorworks for the designers to work from.
This is a shared role across both businesses, so you will be the link between design and delivery on anything survey-related.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your Days Will Look Something Like This
- Reviewing the brief and existing drawings before you set foot on site, so you know exactly what is needed
- Measuring walls, floor areas, ceiling heights, wall thicknesses, structural elements, and changes in level
- Recording doors, windows, stairs, columns, fixtures, services, and equipment in enough detail to draw from
- Running Matterport, laser-measuring devices, and scanning equipment, and capturing point-cloud data where the job calls for it
- Producing a clear, logically sequenced photographic record that someone who has never been to the site can follow
- Processing, checking, and organising everything afterwards, then getting it into a format the design team can use
- Flagging discrepancies between the existing drawings and what is actually there, plus anything you could not access or measure
- Coordinating site access, juggling several surveys at once, and hitting the dates on the programme
- Working safely and professionally in live, occupied, and client-facing environments
You Might Be Our Perfect Match If
- You have a degree in a built-environment subject: building surveying, surveying, architectural technology, architecture, construction, civil engineering, geomatics, or similar
- You read technical drawings comfortably and have a good feel for dimensions, scale, and space
- You are precise, observant, and methodical, and you check your own work before anyone else has to
- You are happy on site, in boots, in buildings that are half-finished or fully occupied
- You can explain technical information clearly to designers, project managers, and contractors
- You are organised enough to keep files, records, and photographs in good order without being chased
- You are keen to travel to sites regularly
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Useful but not essential: placement, internship, or graduate experience in measured surveys or site data capture, any exposure to Matterport, laser scanning, or point-cloud work, familiarity with Vectorworks, AutoCAD, or Revit, knowledge of fit-out projects, and a valid CSCS card.
Why This One
- A proper structured entry point into measured surveying and digital site capture, with real kit and real training
- A varied portfolio of hospitality, leisure, retail, and commercial projects rather than the same building type on repeat
- You sit across design and delivery, so you see how a project actually goes from survey to drawing to built space
- Clear route to greater responsibility for survey planning, data processing, drawing production, and technical coordination
- A small enough team that your work is visible, and improving how surveying is done here is genuinely on the table
