Create My Land Surveyor CV

Contractors, engineering firms and public bodies look for site experience, measurement precision and software skills. Your CV should show the types of project you worked on and with which equipment.

Separate project types

Cadastral, planning, road and infrastructure setting-out, mining or GIS work are different specialisms. Organise your experience by project type.

Name equipment and software

GNSS receivers, total stations, levels and drone photogrammetry - with the CAD and GIS software you use.

Give scale in numbers

Area surveyed, road length or number of parcels make your experience concrete.
