Are you aware of the existence of a complicated network of underground utilities? These include communication cables, water pipes and power lines. These are the lifeblood of modern society because it is impossible to function without electricity, water and the Internet. Before commencing any digging or excavation project, companies must hire a professional CSCS utility surveyor to ensure the excavation or digging site is safe.
If you want to be a part of this rewarding industry, here is a guide to equip you with everything you need to become successful. If you seek professional consultation, you can contact Sygma Solutions Ltd. as we offer tailored training courses for utility surveyors.
Having the necessary qualifications is the foundation of your career. Usually, employers require a Level 3 Certificate in Utility Mapping and Surveying. This program equips individuals with the practical skills and core knowledge required to excel in the field. The program covers various topics, including learning surveying methodologies and principles, collecting and analysing samples, and using utility mapping software.
CSCS issues cards that demonstrate the commitment and qualifications of the surveyor within the construction industry. In order to obtain this card, the surveyor must complete a CITB Health, Safety and Environment test and also pass the technical CSCS assessment that is specific to utility surveying.
Besides the qualifications, you must hone your skill set so you can enhance your chances of getting employed. You can think of developing your proficiency in visualisation and spatial awareness, analytical thinking and problem-solving, and so on. Also, excellent communication skills are required so you can easily collaborate with construction crews, engineers and utility companies.
The field of utility surveying is evolving rapidly, and therefore, surveyors must commit themselves to lifelong learning. They must adapt to the changes in the industry by attending workshops and conferences.
So, this is all you need to know to pursue a successful career in utility surveying in the UK. If you need more help or wish to join a training program, you can reach out to Sygma Solutions Ltd. We work with a professional team of trainers who will look after your specific needs and offer you with theoretical and practical guidance.
