Utility Surveyors
Job Description
About us
Survey Solutions is a leading engineering surveyor specialising in land, measured building and underground utility surveys, as well as monitoring and site engineering schemes. We have a network of ten offices across the UK. Our surveyors and engineers work on some of the UK’s major construction and infrastructure developments.
We’re growing and are looking to appoint Utility Surveyors to join the utilities teams in our offices nationwide.
The role
As a Utility Surveyor, you will work independently on a full range of small to large-scale utility surveys.

You’ll also share your expertise with less experienced team members, both on site and in the office, to help them develop.
This is a full-time role. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9.00 to 5.30, but site hours vary, so some overtime and occasional weekend working will be needed. You’ll work on projects across your local region and should live within a reasonable distance of one of our offices.
