Senior Cadastral Surveyor – Quality Assurance
Acacia Ridge, Brisbane QLD

We're looking for an experienced Senior Cadastral Surveyor – Quality Assurance to take a lead role in cadastral review, boundary reinstatement, plan checking and QA across our South East Queensland operations.
This is a predominantly office-based senior technical role, with flexibility around field work - generally limited to complex cadastral investigations and verification.

What's on offer
  • Predominantly office-based at Acacia Ridge
  • Minimal routine field work
  • Senior technical and QA position
  • Interesting and complex cadastral matters
  • Help shape our cadastral QA systems and standards
  • Mentor and support the broader surveying team
  • Stable, full-time role with a successful and growing business
About the company

A highly successful and established business delivering projects throughout South East Queensland.
Their operations continue to grow, strengthening their cadastral capability with the appointment of a Senior Cadastral Surveyor – Quality Assurance.
Strong emphasis on accuracy, professional standards and getting cadastral work right.
The Senior Cadastral Surveyor – Quality Assurance will be a key technical resource within the business, helping us maintain high standards while continuously improving the way cadastral work is reviewed and delivered.

About the role

As the Senior Cadastral Surveyor – Quality Assurance, you'll focus primarily on technical review, cadastral reinstatement and QA rather than routine field production.
You'll be the experienced technical person the team turns to when:
  • A boundary reinstatement needs review
  • Survey evidence doesn't agree
  • A cadastral plan requires detailed checking
  • An existing survey issue needs investigation
  • A complex cadastral matter needs experienced judgement
Day to day, you'll:
  • Review cadastral surveys and boundary reinstatements
  • Check cadastral plans prior to issue or lodgement
  • Review calculations, field records and cadastral evidence
  • Investigate discrepancies and potential survey issues
  • Determine appropriate rectification where required
  • Provide technical guidance on complex boundary matters
  • Assist with requisitions, audits and cadastral queries
  • Improve internal QA procedures and checking processes
  • Mentor and support surveyors, technicians and drafting staff
This is not primarily a field surveying role.
Field work will generally only be required where an on-site investigation or verification is necessary to resolve a cadastral matter.
Requirements for this role We're looking for someone with:
  • Significant Queensland cadastral surveying experience
  • Registration as a Cadastral Surveyor with the Surveyors Board of Queensland, or appropriate registration/eligibility
  • Strong boundary reinstatement and cadastral knowledge
  • Experience checking cadastral surveys and plans
  • Strong understanding of Queensland cadastral requirements
  • Ability to interpret survey marks, occupation, historical plans, field records and title information
  • Strong analytical and survey calculation skills
  • Experience investigating and resolving cadastral discrepancies
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Confidence providing technical advice to other surveyors
Experience in plan examination, cadastral audit, QA, technical review or a senior cadastral advisory role will be highly regarded.
Ready for a different kind of surveying role? If you've spent years building your cadastral knowledge and would like to use that experience in a senior, predominantly office-based technical position, this could be an excellent next step.
Less routine field work. More technical problem-solving.
