Monitoring Engineer

As a Monitoring Surveyor at Survey Solutions, you will work independently completing small to large scale monitoring projects, both manual and automated sensor-based solutions. You will have acquired previous practical experience and technical knowledge of land surveying through a technician role on small and medium projects.

You will work independently on varied monitoring projects, installing, maintaining and decommissioning monitoring programmes on site using innovative technology and processing data in the office to a high working standard.

On larger projects, Monitoring Surveyors will take the lead with approval from the Monitoring Manager and deliver reliable and robust monitoring solutions.

Monitoring Surveyors will be motivated to progress their career with Survey Solutions, developing expertise in automated solutions, IoT monitoring systems, advanced scanning and heat mapping technologies where applicable, with future development into geotechnical monitoring solutions.
