Do you have an enquiring mind and like to know how things work in the world around you?

Are you happy working away from home in different parts of the country?

Here’s what you’ll do:

We are looking for a Assistant Subsurface Utility Mapping Surveyor to join our buried utility survey team. You would be working supporting and learning from utility surveyors working alongside a STATs team, geophysicists, topographical surveyors, GI and pavements teams, working across a broad range of work areas including projects to support Power, Highways, Rail, Aviation, Water, Environment and Defence sectors.

The role is based out of our Nottingham Office. You will be joining a team of like-minded experts that have a passion for innovation and delivering cutting edge solutions. 

AECOM plays a critical role in the conceptualisation and creation of amazing spaces, delivering projects and buildings that define skylines and communities. We are a leading part of the change to a sustainable future through engineering projects which make a difference to our environment.

We are friendly, busy and motivated with an established track record of successfully delivering both local and overseas projects.

About Our Team: Our Buried Utilities team is a growing team who operate across all sectors of the engineering industry, primarily in the UK but have had teams on site in almost all continents globally. We work under the umbrella of RAM (Rail Asset Management) which as well as specialist rail teams, includes cross discipline teams like Geophysics, GI and Geospatial Engineering. We are based primarily out of our Nottingham office where we have equipment, fleet and laboratory facilities to support our field operations. 

Our projects typically form small (but crucial) parts of the many major infrastructure projects which AECOM work on, primarily providing in-house surveys and investigations (but also providing management of contractors) and specialist advice with an emphasis on collaboration to provide our clients with solutions which best suit their needs.

Job Responsibilities: 

Your primary role will be to support experienced utility surveyors in undertaking buried utility and utility avoidance surveys to PAS128 standards in compliance with AECOM guidance.

The expectation is that you would undergo training to perform the tasks then learn and build experience under the guidance of existing surveyors, performing site operations across the UK as part of a broader team. This would be balanced with office work, potentially including learning to produce operational paperwork, data interpretation, CAD and provide written reports as well as supporting other teams where required.  

You would be expected to work towards and attain the position of utility survey lead through development of key skills and achievement of technical and operational goals throughout your development providing you and us with continued growth as you progress your career.

Come grow with us.
