About the Role
Cook Costello is seeking a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor to join our team and contribute to the continued development of our surveying capability within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

Undertake and sign cadastral surveys and LINZ datasets
Provide technical leadership and professional oversight
Support and mentor survey staff progressing toward licensing
Work alongside engineers and project teams on land development projects
Contribute to developing survey processes, standards and capability
Help shape the ongoing growth of surveying within Cook Costello
The role can be tailored to suit the strengths and interests of the successful candidate.
Location
We are open to candidates based in Auckland, Whangārei, or Christchurch, with flexibility depending on the right person.

Sound knowledge of LINZ requirements and Landonline
Established professional judgement and technical leadership capability
A practical, solutions-focused approach

What We Offer

Professional autonomy and respect for your licence
Opportunity to influence and grow surveying capability
Multidisciplinary project exposure
Flexible working arrangements
Supportive leadership and collaborative culture
Long-term career stability within an established consultancy
Our focus is on building capability sustainably and delivering quality outcomes rather than operating high-pressure production workloads.
