Requirements

What we're looking for

Key competencies:
• Strong leadership and team management capability
• Excellent attention to detail and data accuracy
• Clear communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the ability to work independently
• Strong planning and organisational skills
• Collaborative approach with internal teams, client, and supply chain
• A strong commitment to health, safety, and quality standards

To be successful, you'll typically have a degree in Land Surveying, Engineering Surveying, Geomatics or similar, alongside solid experience in engineering survey techniques, laser scanning, survey data processing, control networks, and working with 3D design models and positioning systems.

The role

We are currently recruiting for a Surveyor (Surface) to join a major joint venture between Bouygues Travaux Publics and J. Murphy & Sons, supporting the delivery of one of the UK's most significant infrastructure programmes.

Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects. LTC is a new road that will connect Kent and Essex through a tunnel beneath the River Thames and will be the greenest road ever built in the UK - creating six times more green space than road. The reliable new route will almost double road capacity over the river east of London to reduce congestion and give millions of people more choice on where they live, work and spend their valuable time.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-performing Technical Engineering Survey team, playing a key role in delivering complex works through advanced surveying techniques, including aerial surveys and laser scanning. You'll be at the forefront of ensuring accurate, high-quality data is produced to support both construction and design across the project.

This is an opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking joint venture delivering complex infrastructure, where your expertise will directly contribute to project success and innovation in surveying practices.

What you'll do

In this role, we are looking for someone who can lead survey operations within their section, ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with project and client standards. You'll also take ownership of survey data processing, reporting, and coordination with key stakeholders across the programme.

Key responsibilities will include:
• Leading and supervising survey teams carrying out aerial and engineering surveying activities
• Carrying out laser scanning and utilising modern surveying technologies
• Producing accurate and reliable survey data for construction and design teams
• Managing large-scale control networks and survey coordination
• Ensuring all survey operations meet health, safety, and quality standards
• Coordinating closely with construction, design, and safety teams
• Supporting reporting, data processing, and delivery of survey outputs
