We are working with one of Scotland's most recognisable and reputable groundworks and civil engineering contractor to assist them in their search for a Geomatics/ Land Surveyor.

The Geomatics Surveyor will deliver high-accuracy surveys and earthworks analysis for large-scale housebuilding projects. Using Trimble GNSS, robotic total stations and UAV's, you'll establish control networks, perform topographic and monitoring surveys, and integrate UAV photogrammetry processed in Pix4D into N4ce for classification, cut/fill volumes, and reporting. This role requires proficiency with Trimble GNSS systems, DJI UAV platforms, Pix4D photogrammetry workflows, and N4ce for earthworks analysis and reporting.

As the Land surveyor your duties will typically include, but are not limited to:

Establish GNSS control networks and maintain RTK base/rover systems.
Conduct surveys across construction sites, capturing earthworks formations, bunds, stockpiles, and as-built levels for QA
Monitor earthworks progress and verify against design.
Plan and execute UAV flights for aerial mapping of bulk earthworks.
Collect imagery and ground control points for accurate georeferencing.
Process UAV data in Pix4D to generate orthomosaics, point clouds, and digital terrain models.
Import processed UAV and GNSS data into N4ce.
Classify surfaces (roads, plots, gardens, SUDS) and calculate cut/fill volumes.
Produce QA reports and export deliverables to CAD for design teams.
Maintain Trimble base stations, firmware updates, and IBSS or radio link integrity.The successful applicant for this role will be able to demonstrate:

Proven experience in land/engineering surveying with modern instrumentation (Trimble/Leica/Topcon).
Strong competency with GNSS/RTK/PPK/NTRIP and total stations.
Understanding of geodesy, coordinate systems, transformations, and datums.
CSCS card
Clean UK driving licence.
For this our client is offering a competitive salary along with a comprehensive package for the right person along with the opportunity for real career development and progression.

Maths for Robotics Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for robotics jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need degree level maths across everything. Most roles do not work like that. What hiring managers usually mean by “strong maths” is much more practical: you can move confidently between coordinate frames you understand rotations without getting lost you can reason about kinematics, control, uncertainty & optimisation you can turn that maths into working code in a robotics stack This guide focuses on the only maths topics that consistently show up across common UK roles like Robotics Software Engineer, Controls Engineer, Autonomous Systems Engineer, Perception Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Robotics Research Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer & Robotics Systems Engineer. You will also get a 6 week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section so you can learn fast without drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Robotics Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Robotics is where software, hardware & the physical world collide. From warehouse automation & surgical robots to drones, cobots & autonomous vehicles, robots must sense, think & act reliably in messy real environments. To build that kind of technology, you need people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too chaotic” for engineering. In reality, many traits that made school or traditional offices hard are exactly what robotics teams need: intense focus on complex systems, pattern-spotting in sensor data, creative problem-solving when hardware misbehaves. This guide is written for neurodivergent job seekers exploring robotics careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a robotics context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to key robotics roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in robotics – & how to turn “different thinking” into a professional superpower.

Robotics Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK robotics jobs market is in a strange but interesting place. On one hand, UK manufacturers, logistics firms and warehouses must automate to stay competitive, tackle labour shortages and meet productivity and net-zero targets. On the other hand, the UK still lags badly behind peers in robot adoption, with relatively low robot density in factories compared with other advanced economies – which is both a challenge and a massive opportunity. The National Robotarium +1 Add in AI, computer vision and edge computing, and you get a robotics landscape that is: More selective in hiring. More focused on real operational outcomes. More integrated with software, data and safety standards. Whether you are a robotics job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building automation and robotics teams, this guide explores the key robotics hiring trends for 2026.
