We innovate with intent, solving complex problems and delivering better outcomes for our partners, communities, and people. That’s what has driven our growth — and what continues to shape our future.

The role

As a Surveyor at Symal Contractors, you’ll deliver accurate and reliable surveying services across a range of civil infrastructure projects, including:

• TMR roadworks and transport infrastructure
• Stormwater systems and drainage upgrades

You’ll work across both field and office environments, supporting construction delivery through set-out, as-built, control, and conformance surveying, while producing high-quality reporting, models, and volume calculations using industry-leading software.

Your everyday

• Set-out, as-built, and conformance surveys across civil sites
• Set out of grids, stormwater alignments, roadworks, and earthworks
• Operate Trimble / Topcon GPS, total stations, and machine control systems
• Produce digital terrain models, volumes, and survey reports using AutoCAD & Trimble Business Centre
• Interpret IFC drawings and collaborate with engineers and site teams
• Support safe delivery of works in line with SWMS and quality systems
• Manage survey data, registers, and project documentation

What We Are Looking For

• 2–3 years’ surveying experience in civil construction or infrastructure
• Experience with Topcon or similar surveying platforms (desirable)
• Strong understanding of civil construction set out and as-built surveying
• Ability to work both independently and within site-based project teams
• Current Queensland Driver’s Licence
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and safety

Why this role

This is an opportunity to step into a fast-paced civil contractor environment where your surveying work directly supports project delivery — not just documentation.

You’ll be part of a supportive team, exposed to major infrastructure projects, and given real opportunities to grow your career within a business that is actively expanding.
