We are looking for a field technician to join our buried utility survey team. You would be working supporting and learning from utility surveyors working alongside a STATs team, geophysicists, topographical surveyors, GI and pavements teams, working across a broad range of work areas including projects to support Power, Highways, Rail, Aviation, Water, Environment and Defence sectors.


The role is based out of our Nottingham Office. You will be joining a team of like-minded experts that have a passion for innovation and delivering cutting edge solutions.
