Project Surveyor

Join our team as a Project Surveyor

Due to continued growth, we are looking for experienced Project Surveyors to join our high-performing Survey & Inspection team on a permanent basis.

You will work closely with the Project Manager, representing the Survey & Inspection department to ensure survey manning levels, technical solutions, equipment choices and methodologies are current, efficient and executed to the highest professional standards.

The Project Surveyor often "owns" the survey side of a larger project, be that in decommissioning, diving and inspection survey activities or pure geophysical. This will including being involved from the initial project phase of tendering through to mobilisation, offshore execution and final handover of the survey deliverables to the client.

Reporting to the Survey & Geomatics Lead, work tasks will be mixed and varied including development of procedures, schedule planning and organisation of survey activities together with the department manager and other leading members of the team.  

This role will be onshore, based in Perth, Western Australia, with travel offshore on a regular basis.

If you are a team player who would like to work closely with people from different parts of the world, we would encourage you to apply.

• Relevant university degree in hydrographic surveying, geoscience or similar (experience can compensate for lack of formal education).
• Minimum 5-10 years' experience from offshore survey operations.
• Senior Surveyor role and Party Chief experience required
• Mid-level project management experience would be desirable but is not essential.
• Enjoy working in a collaborative, often high-tempo environment where we share our success.
• Digital competence and good experience in producing useful and clear content in various digital media and channels.
• Both written and oral communication skills in English
• Highly developed communication, cooperation, and presentation skills.
• Ability to effectively prioritize and deliver within often tight deadlines.
• Ability to be proactive and independent with complex project.
• Experience in using EIVA Software, LBL systems, MBES, AUV, ROV, diving and inspection survey activities
• Identify yourself with our core values: Respect - Integrity - Teamwork - Excellence - And above all we are Safe

Research shows that underrepresented groups are less likely to apply unless they meet every listed requirement, and we don’t want that to hold great talent back, so we encourage you to apply.

It’s the best way for us to find the right talent for this role, or another, and that could be you.
