Survey Project Manager

We are seeking an experienced Survey Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex surveying projects from initial brief through to completion. This role will suit a highly organised professional with strong technical knowledge, commercial awareness and the ability to manage multiple projects, stakeholders and priorities effectively. You will be responsible for ensuring that all work is delivered safely, accurately, on time and in line with agreed budgets and quality standards.


Your duties will include preparing project plans, programmes, budgets and resource requirements; coordinating site teams, surveyors, subcontractors and suppliers; and monitoring progress against key milestones. You will act as the main point of contact for clients and project stakeholders, providing clear updates, managing expectations and resolving issues promptly. You will review survey specifications and deliverables, oversee data collection and quality assurance processes, and ensure that reports, drawings, models and other outputs meet the required technical standards. The role will also involve identifying risks, managing change requests, maintaining accurate project records and supporting tendering, estimating and business development activities where required.


Applicants should have proven experience managing surveying or technical delivery projects, ideally within a consultancy, engineering, construction, infrastructure, property or environmental setting. A relevant qualification in surveying, project management, engineering or a related discipline is desirable, along with knowledge of industry standards, health and safety requirements and applicable legislation. You will need excellent communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills, together with strong financial and time-management abilities. Confidence using project management and surveying software is expected, as is the ability to interpret technical information and produce clear written documentation. A proactive, collaborative approach and a commitment to delivering high-quality client service are essential. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to project and client sites may also be required.
