Meet Jack

Utilities Survey Manager

Jack Best

Survey Manager – Utilities

I joined Survey Solutions as a trainee in 2019 and have progressed alongside the business into my current role as Survey Manager in the Thames Valley office. From the outset, I was given practical experience in underground utility surveying and the chance to build my skills on a variety of projects, allowing progression to happen at the right pace.

The company has consistently supported my development, particularly in technical competence and the use of modern surveying equipment. Working with experienced surveyors helped me understand industry standards, improve data quality, and approach projects with confidence.

Over time, I’ve taken on more responsibility, including managing utility surveys, overseeing project delivery, and supporting and developing newer team members. This gradual increase in responsibility has been a natural part of my development and aligned with my experience and role.

Being part of a growing office means you’re involved in more than just day‑to‑day work. There’s an opportunity to help shape how the team operates, contribute to improvements, and maintain high standards of work across the region.

For anyone looking to build a career in underground utility surveying, it’s a great place to learn, develop practical skills, and progress based on experience and performance.

Why not meet some of our other employees too, like Erin, Jordon, Jack and Julian.
