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.
