The Role
You’ll join a close survey team working across major Auckland subdivisions, drainage, and roadworks. Expect to run full scope: set-out, cut/fill calcs, as-builts, and claims data. Alongside the technical work, you’ll mentor juniors, check subcontractor outputs, and keep project teams supplied with clean, reliable data.

About You

- Drone survey capability a bonus.
Benefits
- $120K+ depending on experience.
- Modern survey tech stack
- Exposure to large-scale civil and earthworks projects.

This is where your local experience counts. You’ll be trusted with the accuracy on projects that shape Auckland, backed by a strong pipeline, and given the space to lead and raise the standard for the next generation coming through.
