From provincial roads and data centers to hydraulic engineering works and reconstructions in urban areas: as a land surveyor, you ensure that our projects literally end up in the right place.
This is what you will do
As a land surveyor, you are an important link between design and execution. Thanks to your work, colleagues outdoors know exactly where they need to work and machines can be controlled accurately.

Do you want to become a drone pilot in your field? We are happy to train you. Your work ensures that our machine operators can work efficiently and that projects are realized according to schedule. Do you enjoy connecting technology, data, and practice? Then you will probably feel at home here very quickly.
Why work at KWS?
We are large enough to work on attractive infrastructural projects, but local enough to know each other personally. At KWS Infra Zwolle-Leek, you work together with specialists who are proud of their work. Lines of communication are short, colleagues help each other, and good ideas are given space.
Working on diverse infrastructure projects in Flevoland and the Kop van Overijssel. Think, for example, of the realization of the RDW test track in Marknesse;
A lot of freedom and independence in your position;
Modern measuring equipment and innovative solutions;
A team in which sharing knowledge is a matter of course;
Plenty of opportunities to follow training and education;
Growth opportunities within KWS and VolkerWessels.

Setting out heights, road alignments, sewer manholes, ditches, and centerlines;
Performing as-built and revision measurements;
Processing measurement data;
Creating 3D models for machine control;
Checking execution on location;
Advising project managers, site managers, and designers.
This is what you bring
You don't have to be an expert in everything. We find it especially important that you work accurately, show initiative, and want to continue developing yourself. Additionally, you recognize yourself as much as possible in the following:
You work accurately and think in a solution-oriented manner;
You enjoy collaborating with colleagues both outdoors and indoors.
