If you are not sure what you want to do when you leave school or college, then consider a role in surveying. The following pages will provide you with loads of information on equipment, further education options, CV’s of people that have already entered the profession. Some are at the beginning of their careers, one is nearing the end, but what they all have in common is a love of the life of a surveyor. We have also included a few basic surveying terms and expressions and a few very useful links for further information.
For teachers there is the opportunity to arrange a visit from a professional surveyor to talk about the exciting challenges to be met by the modern day surveyor. Equipment can even be left at the school to enable simple measurement tasks to be undertaken.
