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 robust 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.
Ready to make your move?
If you are a construction surveyor looking for strong Adelaide-based work, an experienced team and a career that can grow beyond a single project, we would like to hear from you.
