We have exciting opportunities for Intern Surveyors to join our Perth, Brisbane or Sydney Data Capture teams this summer. You'll work on either an individual project or an array of projects.

You'll complete field surveys and office tasks alongside our team of experienced surveyors on major road, rail, power and water infrastructure projects across the Australia and New Zealand region, primarily within your home office location. Your key tasks include providing critical survey and utilities input into engineering and design processes – and we'll mentor you each step of the way to ensure you're set up for success.
