A Utility Surveyor is responsible for detecting, mapping, and assessing underground utilities such as gas, water, electricity, and telecommunications lines. They use specialized equipment like ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic locators to ensure accurate surveying.

To thrive as a Utility Surveyor, you need a solid understanding of surveying principles, underground utility detection, and mapping techniques, typically supported by relevant qualifications in surveying or civil engineering. Familiarity with geophysical detection tools (such as ground penetrating radar), GIS software, and industry certifications like CSCS or NRSWA is essential. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and effective communication help you excel in fieldwork and team collaboration. These skills are vital for ensuring accurate utility data collection, minimizing project risks, and supporting safe excavation and construction activities.
