Join us as our new Project Surveyor!

DOF Australia Pty Ltd is currently seeking an experienced Project Surveyor.

You will work closely with an assigned Project Manager, representing the Survey & Inspection Department to ensure survey manning levels, technical solutions, equipment choices and methodologies are current, efficient and executed to the highest professional standards. The Project Surveyor often "owns" the survey side of a larger project, be that in decommissioning, diving and inspection survey activities or pure geophysical. That will start from tendering through mobilisation, offshore execution and final handover of the survey deliverable to the client. Work tasks will therefore be mixed and varied, and include development of procedures, schedule planning and organising of survey activities together with the department manager and other leading members of the team.  This role reports to the Survey & Geomatics Lead.

This role will be onshore, based in Perth, Western Australia, with travel offshore on a regular basis.

If you are interested and a team player who would like to work closely with people from different parts of the world, we would love for you to apply.
