Join to apply for the Land Surveyor role at SLR Consulting. This role represents a chance for an individual to develop a professional career within mapping and consultancy. You will be joining a well-established team undertaking a variety of surveys across the UK and you will have the full support and training from the team, allowing you to develop and learn new skills whilst making a positive contribution to the group. We expect this role to be based out of our London office, but are happy to consider other locations in the south east as well as a remote role.

SLR has a busy, well-established Land Survey team which provides Geomatic surveying throughout the country, offering our experience in a wide range of industries for topographical surveying services. The team manages various surveying contracts in specific detail for a range of clients including minerals/waste operators, residential/commercial developers, civil/petrochemical/power engineering firms and more.

Our Land Survey team sits within a wider Geospatial and Data Solutions team. This team comprises CAD specialists, GIS analysts, Data Scientists and Developers. Being part of this wider structure gives the opportunity to work with fellow professionals and develop wider skills in the Geospatial field. SLR is a truly multinational consultancy and offers significant potential for career development and enhancement based on performance. Our “one team” culture, flat management structure and straightforward approach to project and budget management gives everyone the opportunity to progress and to work on interesting projects with valued clients.
