Engineering Surveyor – Twilight Shift (Heathrow Airport)

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Surveyor to join our team on a major infrastructure programme at Heathrow Airport. This is a twilight shift position, ideal for professionals who thrive in a fast‑paced environment with reduced daytime congestion and increased access to operational areas.

You will play a key role in delivering accurate surveying, setting‑out, and quality assurance across complex airside and landside works. This role suits someone with Tier One contractor experience who is confident working within highly regulated, safety‑critical environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Setting Out — Deliver precise setting‑out for civil, structural, and infrastructure works

• Topographical Surveys — Conduct surveys using total stations, GPS/GNSS, and laser scanning equipment

• Quality Assurance — Produce as‑built records, verify design compliance, and maintain survey control

• Airside coordination with construction, design, and airport operations teams

• Data management using Leica/Trimble software and production of clear technical outputs

• Compliance with strict airside safety protocols and permit requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as an Engineering Surveyor, Setting Out Engineer, or Site Surveyor

• Background working with Tier One contractors or on major infrastructure projects

• Strong knowledge of Leica or Trimble instrumentation

• Experience working in live operational environments (airports, rail, highways, utilities)

• Ability to work twilight hours (approximately 16:00–00:00 or similar)

• Airside pass experience beneficial but not essential

Shift Pattern

• Twilight shift (evening start, finishing before midnight)

• Monday–Friday with occasional weekend work depending on programme needs

• Enhanced shift allowance available

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary plus twilight shift uplift

• Long‑term project pipeline at Heathrow

• Training and support for airside permits

• Opportunity to work on one of the UK’s most high‑profile infrastructure environments
