Why Work as a Surveyor in the Thames Valley?
The Berkshire patch is growing rapidly. Major residential schemes, logistics hubs, energy upgrades and transport improvements are fuelling demand for accurate, fast, and reliable survey data.

“From Reading to Slough, demand for utility surveyors has never been higher,” adds Jack Best, Utility Survey Manager. “The level of underground infrastructure work has exploded—driven by the push for smarter cities and better energy networks.”
