We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join us at this exciting stage of our business growth. The ideal candidate should have the ambition and dedication to go the extra mile, managing multiple client projects while maintaining high academic performance.
This role is based at our Erith office, where you will benefit from direct support and guidance from our design team. After an initial training period, you will spend time both in the office learning from colleagues and on-site conducting measured building surveys.
While this role is titled Apprentice Building Surveyor, it focuses less on assessing property conditions or diagnosing building defects. Instead, it is centred on measured building surveying—collecting precise measurement data using advanced 3D scanning technology to create energy-efficient design solutions.
As a technology-driven business, we utilise commercial-grade drones and 3D laser scanners to capture on-site data. This will be a core aspect of your role. We will provide in-house training on our cutting-edge equipment, and high-performing surveyors may receive funded drone licensing to operate our drones under CAA regulations. Additional training in thermal drone surveying, assessment, and energy-efficient retrofit design is also being considered.
Beyond the initial surveying process, you will assist our technical team in producing construction and retrofit designs. Full training will be provided by our Technical Design Manager.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the latest surveying technologies, particularly drones and 3D scanners. Experience with Autodesk Revit would be advantageous.
Key Responsibilities:
Liaise with clients to arrange property access.
Distribute notification letters to properties scheduled for surveying.
Apply for drone flight permissions.
Process scan/photogrammetry data to generate point clouds.
Assist with technical drawing production using Autodesk Revit.
Verify the accuracy of drawings by comparing them to point cloud data.
Maintain checklists and documentation for each project.
Keep clients and management informed using project trackers.
Ensure that sub-consultants meet expected quality standards.
Handle contractor and client queries.
Support the development of technical, construction, and retrofit designs.
Conduct accuracy checks on 3D models and adjust elements as needed.
Perform administrative tasks, including answering calls and handling customer queries.
