• Provide leadership, mentoring, and technical guidance to survey staff to maintain accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in project delivery.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, and regulatory authorities, ensuring clear, consistent communication.
• Review the progress and performance of project teams across the division, assisting Site Survey Managers in resource identification and improvements to delivery systems.

What You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Surveying; registration with the Surveyors Board of Queensland (or another state) highly regarded.
