Lead Senior Licensed Cadastral Surveyor Auckland

This is not a production role and not a backfill.
You will operate as the technical authority on cadastral matters across significant land development and land transfer projects, working directly with decision makers and experienced multidisciplinary teams.
You will be trusted to provide strategic advice on complex developments, guide critical decisions, and influence project direction from the earliest stages.
There is real scope to shape project strategy, mentor staff, and contribute to the future capability of the surveying function in Auckland.

The role in practice
You will guide projects from early feasibility through to title creation, providing practical, solutions focused advice that keeps developments progressing efficiently.

Your work will include:
• Leading cadastral strategy on complex subdivision projects
• Certifying survey datasets and ensuring regulatory compliance
• Providing boundary definition and land transfer expertise
• Coordinating survey inputs with planners, engineers and project teams
• Managing stakeholder relationships with councils, LINZ and legal advisors
• Identifying risks early and resolving issues before they escalate
• Supporting and mentoring survey staff
• Contributing to client relationships and new opportunities

You will remain closely connected to real project delivery, with oversight of field surveys and technical outputs where required.

What we are looking for:
• Licensed Cadastral Surveyor (New Zealand)
• Extensive experience delivering land development and land transfer projects end to end
• Strong understanding of Auckland processes and regulatory environment
• Ability to operate confidently at senior technical and client level
• Sound judgement, commercial awareness and problem solving capability
• Leadership experience or readiness to step into a leadership position

Experience with complex, high density or large scale developments will be highly valued.

The environment
You will be working with modern survey technology, established systems, and a collaborative and genuine supportive leadership team that values professional expertise and sound judgement.
This is a setting where your opinion carries weight, where decisions are made pragmatically, and where quality of work takes priority over volume.

• Greater autonomy and trust
• Influence over significant projects that shape communities
• Opportunity to mentor and develop a capable team
• Long term stability supported by a strong pipeline of work
• Ability to focus on technically meaningful work
• A step up in professional impact without sacrificing work life balance
