Tattersall Lander are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic TAFE-qualified (or final year Diploma student) Survey Technician to join our team. Recent university graduates or undergraduates will also be considered.

This would be a full time position for a qualified applicant, or a casual position for a TAFE student (with a view to moving to full time once you have completed your studies).

You’ll have the opportunity to work with a group of experienced professionals with a passion for surveying, providing ongoing mentorship and training to expand your skills and ensure our clients are provided with the very best service to achieve their needs.

As a multi-disciplinary development consultancy employing about 25 staff, we are involved in all aspects of the development process, from planning and project management through to surveying, engineering and ecological considerations.

Our survey work covers a wide range of disciplines, including:

  • Small- to large-scale cadastral surveys in both urban and rural areas
  • Strata and Community Title developments
  • A full range of services for residential construction (including detail, setout and identification surveys)
  • Surveys to assist our engineering team for road and drainage design, sewer and water design, flood studies and more
  • Work As Executed surveys
  • Volumetric surveys by photogrammetry utilising drone technology

With our office centrally based in Raymond Terrace, we regularly cover everywhere from the Mid-Coast (Forster, Tea Gardens) in the north to the Central Coast in the south, and up into the Hunter Valley.

While this is primarily a field-based role, we aim to give all of our survey staff the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the project, including office-based calculations and reductions. In the role, you will be guided and supported by the Registered Surveyors and other senior staff in our firm.

With a strong client base providing ongoing work and several large-scale projects on the horizon, there’s never been a better time to join our team. Other reasons to join Tattersall Lander include:

  • Strong focus on staff development, with regular ‘tutorials’ on a range of topics to build our team’s skills
  • Emphasis on workplace culture, including weekly Friday social gatherings in our office, regular ‘morale-building’ activities and other social events throughout the year
  • Emphasis on work-life balance, with desirable work hours (typically 8:30am to 5:00pm) and no expectation of overtime
  • We know that having great people is the secret to having a strong team, and we really value each and every one of our team members

To excel in the role, you should possess:

  • Completed or currently undertaking Diploma in Surveying (TAFE or equivalent). University undergraduates and graduates also considered.
  • Some field experience is beneficial but not essential.
  • Current NSW Driver’s Licence and White Card.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Attention to detail and strong analytical skills.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
  • Ability to lead a field party and pass on knowledge to less experienced staff (e.g. field assistants). But don’t worry if you’re not at this level yet – we will teach you!
  • Experience with Robotic Total Stations and GPS equipment and methodologies (preferably experience with Trimble field equipment, but this is not essential).
  • Experience with survey and drafting software is beneficial.

An attractive remuneration package based on qualifications and experience will be negotiated with the successful applicant.

If you believe that you are suited to this position and would like to apply to join our team, please forward your cover letter and resume (including details of at least two referees) to reception@tatland.com.au.
