At Alexander Symonds, surveying is our focus.

For more than 90 years, we have built long-term relationships with our people and clients. We believe careers, like client relationships, should be built around more than a single project or transaction.

With a strong pipeline of Adelaide-based construction work, we are looking for surveyors with construction experience to join our team.

You might enjoy becoming part of a major long-term project, or prefer the variety of working across a number of smaller jobs. Our workload gives us opportunities across both, from major land developments and civil construction through to significant infrastructure projects.

Most importantly, we are looking for capable field surveyors who want to work hard, contribute to an experienced team and build a long-term surveying career.

The work you’ll do

- Civil construction set-out across land development, roads, services, structures, and infrastructure projects

- Establish, maintain and verify survey control

- Complete as-built, topographic and verification surveys

- Prepare and manage field data and survey information

- Work closely with construction teams, clients and other surveyors

- Support projects ranging from smaller construction jobs through to major long-term projects

This is primarily a field surveying role. 12d Field, construction data or survey data management capability will be highly regarded, but we are first and foremost looking for capable field surveyors.

What you’ll bring

- Construction surveying fundamentals

- Experience delivering field surveys on active construction sites

- Confidence using modern survey equipment and established field workflows





- A hard-working, reliable and practical approach

- Strong attention to accuracy and detail

- Clear communication and the ability to work well within a team

- A current Australian driver’s licence

- A Degree or Diploma in Surveying, or demonstrated construction surveying capability

What we offer

- Adelaide-based construction surveying across a strong pipeline of work

- Opportunities across long-term projects and varied multi-project roles

- Established clients in growing markets and projects with long runways

- Modern survey equipment, software and established workflows

- An experienced surveying team to work alongside and learn from

- Paid training and professional development

- Long-term opportunities to move across different parts of Alexander Symonds as your skills, interests and our project needs evolve

- Support through our Learning and Development Manager

- A workplace that values skilled growth, wellbeing and long-term careers

Our culture

We believe relationships, not transactions, build better businesses and better careers.

You will join a team that values people who work hard, support each other and take pride in delivering reliable outcomes for our clients. We want people who are interested in becoming part of the business, not simply completing the next project.
