Our projects are usually multi-disciplined and call upon our exceptionally diverse survey portfolio. We have an uncompromising approach to technical certainty and welcome all workflow developments which increase our efficiency and value.

  • UAV / drone survey

The successful candidate will demonstrate an experience and innovative approach in the geomatics industry and will have the opportunity to participate in technical development of the business through workflow development, R&D and capex planning.

The position is based in Picklescott, Shropshire a small village on the northern flank of the Longmynd range. Offering spectacular countryside for the outdoor enthusiast.
