Cadastral Surveyor – Path to Leadership

Cadastral Surveyor - Path to Leadership. West Coast. $90,000 - $150,000+ plus benefits, *relocation negotiable. A well-established surveying practice on the West Coast is building for the future and they want the right person to grow into it. This isn't just a job; it's a succession plan. Over the next 5-7 years, you'll be mentored, supported toward licensing (LCS), if you haven't already achieved licensing, and progressively handed the keys to leadership. The firm has deep roots in the region, a genuine cadastral focus, and a tight-knit team that takes real pride in their work. The West Coast is one of New Zealand's most underrated places to live, affordable housing in comparison to other bigger NZ centres, world-class outdoors on your doorstep, and a community that actually knows your name.
