Are you a technically capable surveyor, ready for a full-time office-based role, who thrives on organisation, team leadership, and making systems hum?

This is your opportunity to take ownership of a key service line and make your mark.

Sonto is on a mission.

We are on a mission to deliver exceptional surveying services in South-East Queensland while providing a refined business model that empowers every team member to achieve professional and personal success. As a team of high-performing individuals, Sonto delivers a standard of surveying services that our clients can depend on—executed consistently with meticulous attention to quality. Every team member at Sonto is valued for their contribution and ownership of their role and responsibilities. We believe collective success comes from individual accountability, and we support each person to achieve meaningful career growth. Our greater vision is to become a company that makes a difference—positively impacting our clients, our team, the environment, and our broader community.

This newly expanded role is all about leading the planning and delivery of a wide variety of survey projects—from residential construction to commercial developments, industrial facilities, and institutional projects like schools and universities. In this role, you’ll manage scheduling, optimise our field and equipment resources, provide technical support to your survey crews, handle client queries and technical questions, and be involved in quoting processes across this diverse project mix.

Key Responsibilities

Oversee day-to-day delivery of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional survey projects

Mentor a team of field technicians and survey assistants

Schedule and group jobs to maximise field efficiency and utilisation

Provide technical support, quality checks, and guidance to the field & precalcs teams

Liaise with the Business Support team to ensure smooth delivery

Prepare quotes and variations, ensuring profitable and accurate scope

Resolve client queries and provide field insight where needed

What You'll Bring

Surveying experience (6+ years minimum – field or project-based)

Must have a minimum of 2 years of an office role in project delivery or coordination

Solid understanding of a range of survey workflows: residential, commercial, and industrial

Strong scheduling, coordination, and problem-solving skills

Excellent communication and leadership ability

Confidence in quoting and interacting with clients

A genuine passion for process improvement and high standards

This role is best suited to an experienced surveyor who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys juggling people, priorities, and projects. You’re confident leading a small field team, love bringing structure to chaos, and naturally step into the driver’s seat when there’s a deadline on the line. You’ve got an eye for detail, a knack for planning, and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty in the field or on the phone with a client. If you’re ready to take ownership of a growing, multi-sector delivery function and help shape how Sonto raises the standard across the industry, this one's for you.

Sonto offers highly competitive compensation packages, along with unique and individualised benefits including flexible working arrangements and 9 day fortnight or monthly RDO.

We are open to surveyors with registration with the SBQ as well & pay accordingly.
