Surveying is an essential profession in Australia, with skills shortages seeing highly trained surveyors in demand locally in South Australia, as well as nationally and around the world.
Surveyors use modern, high-tech equipment such as satellite navigation systems, drones and unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs), laser scanners and robotic total stations, to measure and map our environment. From cadastral surveying (land mapping), to hydrographic surveying (marine mapping), geodetic surveying (earth mapping), mining or engineering surveying, employment prospects are excellent across the sector.
As a surveyor you will enjoy an exciting, practical and hands-on career with a balance of field and office-based work. You will also have the opportunity to tailor your career path to your interests – from construction to climate change, your options are wide and varied.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Surveying) enjoys long-standing support from the Surveyors Board of South Australia, with extensive industry involvement ensuring you graduate with the knowledge and skills expected by industry. Furthermore, you will benefit from real-world experiences built into your program of study, including placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits and networking events.

Cadastral Surveying
In South Australia, and other states around the nation, a shortage of surveyors and geospatial scientists is forecast until at least 20281.
There is strong industry demand for degree qualified surveyors, with many of our students securing work before they graduate.
Graduates may find work in the public or private sector, working with engineers, architects, ecologists and / or land developers.
You may choose to pursue a career as a:
Licensed Cadastral (Land) Surveyor: critical to land management, cadastral surveyors play a vital role in the legal definition of property boundaries, conducting surveys to re-establish existing property boundaries or create new ones as part of the land division process.
Engineering Surveyor: integral throughout the lifecycle of civil engineering projects, engineering surveyors are responsible for mapping the existing environment before projects begin, making sure the project is constructed in the correct location and to the right sizes, and ensuring construction is compliant with the original design and relevant regulations.
Mining Surveyor: working in the mining industry, mining surveyors are involved in the design, planning, risk management and environmental impact assessment of mine sites; measuring, recording and mapping mining activities; and contributing to remediation and restoration of mine sites.
Hydrographic Surveyor: a specialist in marine environments, hydrographic surveyors may work in environmental monitoring and protection, mapping the ocean floor and other waterways to enable safe passage for shipping or to track the impact of weather patterns and climate change.
Geodesist: a specialist in the size and shape of the Earth, accurately establishing a framework to enable us to position ourselves within our national coordinate system supporting everything from day-to-day surveying activities, through to modelling climate change or positioning driverless vehicles.
