Working for GEOTEC SURVEYS is a vocation.
Our Wormley staff, both office based, and site-based have been employed with us for a number of years, ranging from 2019 (our newest surveyors) and 2002 (our operations manager).
The average number of years’ service is currently 11 years for Wormley based staff and 12 years for Northern Ireland based staff.
We offer both internal training, through a shadowing programme, as well as external training relating to Topographical Surveying and use of Total Stations, Radio Frequency Detection, use of Ground Penetrating Radar, as well as post processing and data evaluation.
Our surveyors are also provided health & safety training to allow them to obtain their CSCS cards, NRSWA street works certification and First Aid training in addition to other industry-specific accreditation to allow them to work on substations, water and sewage sites and the railway.
The responsibility for production of all survey results always lies with the lead surveyor; this task is not passed to anyone who has not physically carried out the survey.
As a result all new surveyors are trained in all aspects of the work:
- Cover Lifting

- Ground Penetrating Radar
- Topographical Surveying
- AutoCAD – Production of Results

Working for GEOTEC Underground Mapping Experts – Frequently Asked Interview Questions
What is the Salary?
The Salary on offer will be subject to experience.
Do I need to live near to one of your offices?
Yes, our surveyors need to live within a commutable distance to the office to meet up with survey team members and for office-based functions to be completed.
What Training will I receive?
GEOTEC will provide full training, which will consist of a mixture of internal, on-the-job training and shadowing, as well as several external training programmes.
How long does it take to become a Utility Surveyor?
It takes between 6 months to a year before you can be considered experienced enough to form part of a 2-man survey team. After 1 year + you may be able to lead a survey and be responsible for producing your own survey results.
Will I get my own van?
No, we have a fleet of vans which are shared by the survey team.
Is there any travelling involved?
Yes, GEOTEC works Nationwide and as a result, you will need to travel to the site, wherever that may be. As such, there may be early starts and late finishes but we do also do “stayaways” where the Company will put you up in a hotel near the site, where required.
Do I need to work Out of Hours?
Yes, due to the nature of our work, there are occasions when you will need to work nights and be asked to work weekends, particularly on the railway. We can discuss how this works with you at the interview.
