Real Estate Surveyor jobs in Scotland

Important: Scotland-Wide Travel Is a Core Requirement

This role supports a major long-term project covering hundreds of properties across Scotland.

Frequent travel across Scotland is a fundamental part of the position and will take place on a weekly basis. Sites are located nationally, so the successful candidate must be comfortable travelling significant distances, working independently across different locations and staying away from home overnight when project requirements demand it.

This is not a role based primarily in Glasgow or from home. While remote working applies when carrying out post-processing and project deliverables, the core of the position is field-based and driven by project locations across Scotland.

Candidates should therefore only apply if they are genuinely comfortable with regular national travel as an ongoing part of their working week.

Why Join Us?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a Proptech business entering a significant long-term project across Scotland. You'll play a key role in delivering high-quality digital survey data for a major programme of work while using industry-leading reality capture technology.

You'll enjoy a high level of autonomy, work with cutting-edge equipment, and be part of a collaborative team that's redefining how buildings are captured and digitised.

Role Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Digital Surveyor based in Scotland (preferably Glasgow) to support a major long-term project spanning approximately three years.

The role involves capturing highly accurate spatial data of properties using industry-leading hardware and proprietary software. In addition to fieldwork, you will process survey data and produce detailed Stak Verified measured survey floorplans.

This is a hybrid role, with extensive travel to sites across Scotland. When you are not on site, you will work remotely from home processing survey data and producing project deliverables.

The successful candidate must be comfortable working independently, managing their own schedule, and travelling extensively. Weekly travel across Scotland will be a core part of the role, with occasional overnight stays depending on project requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Capture accurate spatial data of properties using Leica laser scanning equipment, including BLK2GO, BLK360 and RTC.
• Carry out measured building surveys independently, ensuring accuracy, completeness and efficiency.
• Complete Ground Control Point (GCP) and geo-referenced surveys where required.
• Process raw survey data into usable digital formats using industry-standard software.
• Produce accurate measured survey floorplans using proprietary software, Adobe Creative Suite and other tools.
• Complete post-processing and deliverable production remotely when not undertaking fieldwork.
• Travel extensively throughout Scotland, often on a weekly basis, with occasional overnight stays as required by project needs.
• Communicate professionally with clients and project teams throughout the survey process.
• Represent the DRC brand positively during all client interactions.
• Maintain survey equipment and ensure all hardware is used, transported and stored safely.
• Keep up to date with developments in digital surveying technology and contribute to continuous improvement of survey workflows.

Requirements

• Proven experience in land surveying, measured building surveying or a closely related surveying discipline.
• Strong practical experience carrying out as-built or measured surveys independently.
• Demonstrable hands-on experience using LiDAR or laser scanning equipment in the field.
• Proficiency using Leica laser scanning equipment, ideally including BLK2GO, BLK360 and/or RTC.
• Experience processing scan or survey data using software such as Cyclone or similar platforms.
• Experience producing 2D measured floorplans in line with recognised surveying standards.
• Experience carrying out Ground Control Point (GCP), geo-referenced or GNSS-based surveys.
• Strong understanding of surveying accuracy, control and quality assurance.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, for floorplan production and annotation is desirable.
• Drone surveying experience is highly desirable.
• Comfortable learning and adapting to new technologies, software and workflows.
• Highly organised and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
• Willing and able to travel throughout Scotland every week as a permanent and ongoing requirement of the role.
• Flexible to undertake overnight stays when required by project locations and schedules.
• Excellent attention to detail, spatial awareness and commitment to producing high-quality work.
• Strong communication and client-facing skills.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Access to your own vehicle for travel to project locations.

Working Arrangements

Working hours are 9:00am to 6:00pm.

This is primarily a field-based position. Your working location will vary according to project requirements, with regular travel to sites across Scotland.

When you are not required on-site, you will work remotely from home completing data processing and project deliverables.

Applicants should be comfortable with a working pattern that is driven by site locations, client requirements and project schedules rather than a fixed office-based routine.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: £40,000.00-£70,000.00 per year
