The Scan Station are now looking to recruit a Surveyor to work full time based in the North West (Chester area) working throughout the UK and occasionally further afield.

The Scan Station Ltd (part of the RSK Group) supports the Construction, Rail, Renewable, Environmental, Oil & Gas and Film industries with specialist survey and inspection services. We work on fast paced projects throughout the UK and Middle East and seek to find a Surveyor to support our growing business.  Our success is founded on the talent of our employees, so we recognise the importance of personal growth, encouragement and earned rewards. As a company, we want you to share in our achievements and we want to be a conduit for your success.

Responsibilities & Requirements:

The role involves planning, conducting, and managing various types of projects. Our most common project involve a combination of traditional survey, laser scanning/LiDAR and photogrammetry and so experience using these technologies will be important. 

The role will require proficiency in various surveying competencies, including:

  • Terrestrial Laser Scanning:
    • Use laser scanners to capture object or structure dimensions.
    • Select suitable equipment and settings.
    • Set up scanners for adequate scan coverage and overlap.
    • Process scans with software like Leica Cyclone or Autodesk Recap to create 3D models or point clouds.
    • Integration of laser scanning technologies with other survey types including photogrammetry and aerial LiDAR.
  • Terrestrial Photogrammetry:
    • Collect high quality photogrammetry datasets with the equipment available. 
    • Choose appropriate equipment and settings.
    • Process datasets with software like Reality Capture to generate 3D models, point clouds and other deliverables.
  • Drone Operations:
    • Safely and accurately operate drones indoors and outdoors.
    • Understand different drone types, regulations, and permissions.
    • Plan and execute drone flights based on project objectives, site conditions, and regulations.
    • Control drones manually or autonomously, monitoring status and capturing quality images and data.
    • Ideally holding a GVC or A2CoC but training can be provided.
  • Traditional Survey work including:
    • Total Station control and data collection
    • GNNS control and data collection
    • Generating CAD deliverables 
    • Pointcloud processing

Experience and Qualifications:

  • 1-3 years of experience in the provision of survey deliverables and has a desire to adopt new technologies and innovate
  • Proficiency using surveying equipment and software
  • Experienced in Data Analysis
  • Experience of liaising with clients
  • Project management experience
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Self-motivated and ambitious.
  • Willing to learn new design procedures and software through company training.
  • A good self-manager of time and work.
  • Strong team player with an energetic outlook that motivates others.
  • Experienced in use of Microsoft products including Excel, Word and Power Point.

Salary and benefits:

  • £commensurate with experience
  • Contributory Pension Scheme
  • A flexible benefits programme including the option to buy additional holidays and private health care
  • Regular training and career development

Rural-Remote UAV Jobs: Charting New Flight Paths Beyond the City

A New Horizon for Drone Enthusiasts Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have soared from niche military tools and hobbyist gadgets to an essential technology across a broad range of sectors—from agriculture and mapping to construction and public safety. Historically, those seeking a career in UAV technology might have assumed they needed to live in a bustling city hub or near major airports to stand a chance of landing a good role. But times are changing. Advances in remote communication, cloud-based data processing, and drone autonomy now enable professionals to work on sophisticated UAV projects from almost anywhere in the UK, including rural and coastal regions. At UAVJobs.co.uk, we’re witnessing a significant shift. More employers are open to hiring remote UAV pilots, data analysts, software developers, and project managers—provided they can access reliable internet and handle occasional on-site visits. Likewise, an increasing number of professionals are seeking “tech jobs by the sea” or “UAV remote countryside” roles, motivated by rising urban living costs, quality-of-life aspirations, and the growing acceptance of distributed teams. In this article, we’ll explore why “rural-remote UAV jobs” are no longer a pipe dream, the benefits and challenges of stepping beyond the city, and how to position yourself for success if you’re ready to settle among rolling hills or scenic coastlines. Whether you’re a seasoned drone pilot, a software engineer working on flight autonomy, or a GIS analyst processing aerial data, you might be pleasantly surprised by the opportunities waiting for you outside metropolitan areas.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in UAVs—A New Frontier in Aerial Autonomy

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)—often called drones—have transformed industries from agriculture and logistics to emergency response and filmmaking. Yet as UAV technology scales in sophistication and widespread adoption, existing computational models struggle with the immense complexity of tasks like real-time path planning, obstacle avoidance, sensor fusion, and multi-agent coordination. Conventional hardware and AI algorithms can handle many missions adequately, but the next level—think fully autonomous UAV fleets, high-speed real-time analytics, and intricate swarm operations—demands a paradigm shift in computational capability. That’s where quantum computing enters the picture. Capitalising on quantum mechanical phenomena (superposition and entanglement), quantum computers can tackle specific challenges (like large-scale optimisation and rapid sampling) much faster than classical machines. When fused with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a quantum-enhanced synergy, it opens fresh possibilities for UAV autonomy—ranging from improved flight safety and swarm coordination to advanced image processing and sensor analytics. In this article, we will: Examine current demands in the UAV sector, highlighting core limitations of classical methods. Explain the basics of quantum computing—what qubits are and how they might bolster AI workflows. Explore how quantum-enhanced AI can elevate UAV applications, spanning everything from route optimisation to swarm coordination. Discuss the hurdles we must overcome (such as noisy quantum hardware or data encoding) and ways to address them. Look at the emerging roles, skill sets, and career pathways to ride this wave of innovation—especially in the UK UAV market. If you are an aviation engineer, data scientist, robotics specialist, or simply intrigued by drones and next-gen computing, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI may well define the next evolution of UAV technology, bridging the gap between current capabilities and truly autonomous flight across the skies.
