Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Geomatics Surveyor to join us here at AECOM in delivering high‑quality surveying, mapping, and spatial data services across infrastructure, buildings, environmental, and energy programs.

As the Senior Geomatics Surveyor, you will undertake the planning and execute field surveys, manage geospatial data, and produce accurate deliverables that inform design, construction, asset management, and digital twins.

You will collaborate with engineers, designers, and project managers to scope work, select the right methods and technologies, and ensure safe, efficient execution and data integrity throughout the project lifecycle.

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Plan, scope, and execute topographic, boundary, control, and as‑built surveys using GNSS, total stations, scanners, UAVs, and mobile mapping systems.
• Establish and maintain site control networks, datums, and coordinate systems; transform and validate data across projections and geoids.
• Perform construction setting‑out, verification, and dimensional control for civil and structural works.
• Process GNSS and total station observations; compute adjustments, error analysis, and QA checks to defined tolerances.
• Integrate geospatial datasets (survey, CAD, GIS, BIM, remote sensing) and produce drawings, models, and deliverables to project standards.
• Prepare survey methodologies, risk assessments, and work packs; select equipment and resources to meet scope, schedule, and budget.
• Manage data in common environments (CDE) and adhere to information management protocols, naming conventions, and version control.
• Liaise with clients, landowners, authorities, and internal teams to clarify requirements and constraints.
• Ensure all activities comply with Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) standards and site rules; lead by example in the field.
• Mentor junior staff, support knowledge sharing, and contribute to continuous improvement of methods and tools.

Qualifications

Ready to push the limits of what’s possible? Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in Geomatics, Surveying, Geospatial Engineering, or related field; equivalent experience considered.
• 3+ years of relevant surveying experience across field and office environments (we also welcome applications from strong early‑career candidates).
• Proficiency with GNSS, total stations, digital levels, and survey data processing workflows.
• Working knowledge of coordinate systems, geodesy fundamentals, and least‑squares adjustments.
• Strong CAD and/or GIS capability for production of plans and spatial analysis.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to project sites as required.
