Frequently Asked Questions
1. What experience do I need for the Assistant Surveyor role?
For an Assistant Surveyor position, we typically look for at least 1-2 years of relevant experience in a construction or civil engineering environment. Familiarity with surveying equipment and basic software is essential. For graduate-level roles, a relevant degree (Civil Engineering, Surveying, Geography) and a keen willingness to learn can be sufficient.
2. Are these temporary roles likely to become permanent?
Many of our temporary surveying assignments have a strong potential to transition into permanent positions. Clients often use temporary contracts as a probationary period. Demonstrating reliability, skill, and good team fit greatly increases your chances of being offered a direct contract. We actively facilitate these conversions.
3. What kind of projects will I be working on in Chester?
The Chester CH1 area is active with a mix of projects: residential developments, commercial refurbishments, infrastructure upgrades (roads, utilities), and some larger regional projects. Your assignment could range from a small housing estate to a major industrial unit or a civil engineering scheme.
4. How quickly can I start after applying?
For urgent roles, we can often complete registration and compliance checks within 24-48 hours, leading to an immediate start the following Monday or even sooner. Speed depends on your availability of documents (right to work, CSCS card, references). Our video explains our fast-track process.
5. Do you provide the necessary surveying equipment?
This varies by client. Most contractors will provide the high-value specialist equipment (GPS, total stations, drones). You are generally expected to provide your own basic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE - boots, helmet, hi-vis) and potentially basic hand tools. Your consultant will clarify the kit requirements for each specific role.

Absolutely. We place candidates from across the North West and North Wales who commute to Chester. As long as you can reliably get to the site for the required start times (often early), your application is welcome. We also have roles in surrounding areas like Wirral, Wrexham, and Crewe.
