Career.supersecrets is excited to partner with a leading firm in the Warrington area to recruit a dedicated Land Surveyor Assistant. This exceptional entry-level opportunity is perfect for those with no prior surveying experience, but a strong desire to learn, contribute, and grow within a professional team. You will be instrumental in supporting experienced land surveyors on a variety of critical projects across Warrington and the broader Cheshire region. Your daily tasks will involve hands-on fieldwork, assisting with the precise collection of geographical data that underlies everything from new construction developments and infrastructure upgrades to environmental assessments.

Our client is known for fostering a supportive work culture and investing in their team’s development, making this an ideal starting point for your professional journey. If you’re ready to embrace a hands-on role, enjoy being outdoors, and are eager to make your mark, we encourage you to apply.
