Surveying Queensland since 1996

The survey team behind some of the state’s biggest builds — and the block next door.

Who we are

Local roots, statewide reach

Founded on the Fraser Coast in 1996, Surveyors at Work has grown into one of regional Queensland’s most capable survey firms, with a team of 30+ professionals — project surveyors, engineering and construction surveyors, cadastral surveyors and survey technicians — operating from our Hervey Bay head office and working on projects right across the state.

We work at both ends of the scale. On any given week our teams are setting out slabs and running contour surveys for local builders, reinstating boundaries for property owners, and — at the same time — acting as lead project surveyors on some of Queensland’s largest civil, road, rail and mining projects.

That range is deliberate. It keeps our people sharp, our technology current, and our service grounded in the community we’re part of.
