Senior Land Surveyor

Permanent

Location – Telford & Surrounding Areas

Salary Negotiable, Dependent on experience

One of the most respected geospatial and geomatic surveying consultancies in the UK, this chartered surveying practice operates across rail, highways, bridges, aviation, estates, energy, and environmental sectors, delivering topographical surveys, mobile mapping, 3D laser scanning, underground utility mapping, UAV aerial surveys, scan-to-BIM, digital twins, GIS data capture, and automated monitoring. Operating across the UK from their Telford base, the business is recognised for applying cutting-edge technology and lean workflows to complex infrastructure projects, maintaining the highest professional and quality standards throughout. They are now seeking an experienced Senior Land Surveyor to support their growing highways and infrastructure survey programme.

The Senior Surveyor will work closely with Project Managers and the Head of Department, playing a key role in planning and executing small to large-scale topographical and highways surveys across diverse environments. Reporting directly to senior leadership, this role carries responsibility for technical delivery, data processing, team mentoring, and ensuring QA/QC compliance on every project. Experience with highways is not necessarily required for this role; a background in topographical surveying is essential, ideally in the infrastructure industry.

Responsibility & Duties

* Undertake small to large-scale topographical and highway surveys

* Operate total stations, GPS/GNSS, and mobile mapping systems on site

* Post-process survey data including traversing, levelling, and scale factors

* Produce CAD drawings and survey reports from collected field data

* Mentor and support junior team members as Senior Surveyor (Highways)

* Manage, maintain, and calibrate survey equipment correctly

* Ensure full QA/QC compliance and adherence to company processes

Experience & Qualification

* Proven experience in land, topographic, and surveying

* Proficient with total stations, GPS/GNSS, and laser scanning equipment

* Experience with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or equivalent CAD/GIS software

* Strong understanding of surveying principles and geospatial data

* Willingness to work nights, weekends, and stay away when required

* Excellent attention to detail and strong client communication skills

* Full UK driving licence essential; relevant degree preferred

Where to Advertise UAV Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise UAV jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, defence channels and community routes that reach drone, autonomy and BVLOS engineers. The candidate pool spans aeronautical engineers, embedded systems developers, flight control specialists, RF engineers, payload integration experts and regulatory affairs professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest UAV candidates often come from defence backgrounds, aerospace primes or academic research groups, and move between roles through specialist networks, industry events and sector-specific channels rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UAVJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise UAV and drone roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

UAV Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

UAV Jobs UK 2026: drone engineering roles, salaries and the autonomous aviation hiring trends shaping UK UAV careers over the next three years. The unmanned aerial vehicle sector has spent the better part of a decade promising to transform industries. That transformation is now happening — not as the sudden revolution that early advocates predicted, but as a steady, well-funded, and increasingly regulated maturation that is reshaping the jobs market in ways that are both significant and durable. Drones are no longer a novelty technology operated by enthusiasts and a handful of specialist defence contractors. They are operational infrastructure across an expanding range of industries — logistics and last-mile delivery, infrastructure inspection, precision agriculture, emergency services, construction surveying, maritime operations, and military and defence applications that have grown dramatically in strategic importance. Each of those sectors is generating its own distinct hiring demand, drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets, and creating career pathways that did not exist at anything approaching meaningful scale three years ago. For job seekers, the UAV jobs market of 2026 represents a genuine opportunity — but one that rewards those who understand the sector's specific technical, regulatory, and commercial dynamics rather than those who simply bring enthusiasm and a drone licence. The roles being created now are more technically sophisticated, more commercially oriented, and more regulatory-aware than the UAV jobs of even three years ago. This article breaks down what the UK UAV jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the next wave of drone industry growth.
