Check out the Construction Bullseye from MyFuture here. Surveyor From the Board of Surveying and Spatial Information of NSW A career in surveying can be very diverse and involves travelling and the use of specialised technology. Surveyors can be involved in making measurements in the outdoors or indoors processing data and creating plans and maps. What does that mean? In a nutshell, surveyors measure and map things then provide the information to people like engineers, architects and developers. Video Working in Surveying You could work in the office or in the field, using high-tech equipment and sophisticated software to put together measurements that are needed by other design professionals. Without their work it would be impossible for engineers and architects to accurately design and construct buildings. Salary: from around $42k for an Assistant (Cert III level) to $64k for a Draftsperson with 5 years experience. University qualifications mean you could earn $90k plus as a Licensed/Registered Surveyor. Qualifications: From TAFE, start with a Cert III and work through to a Diploma to become a fully qualified draftsperson, you need a university degree to become a surveyor. Where do I start?
