Next Step Surveying Pty Ltd – Moffat Beach QLD

Build the role. Lead the projects. Own the future of this space.

Sunshine Coast / Toowoomba | Full-time | Career & Leadership Opportunity

Next Step Surveying is looking for an experienced Senior Engineering / Project Surveyor who wants more than their next surveying job.

We are looking for someone who wants the opportunity to take ownership of our Engineering and Project Surveying capability and help build it into a key part of our business.

This is a hands-on senior role initially—you'll be delivering projects, working directly with clients and supporting our survey team. But the opportunity is much bigger than that.

For the right person, we want this role to develop into leading this space within Next Step Surveying—building client relationships, growing a project portfolio, developing systems, mentoring surveyors and ultimately building a team around you.

If you've reached the point in your career where you know how to deliver projects but want the autonomy and opportunity to build something of your own, we'd like to hear from you.
