Build on your hydrographic surveying experience with a team delivering complex marine and offshore projects
Revelare Hydrospatial is one of the leading employers and trainers of hydrographic surveyors in Australia, with a strong focus on developing people at every stage of their career.
You’ll work across a diverse range of marine and offshore projects, applying your experience in real-world conditions and continuing to develop as a well-rounded hydrographic surveyor.
As part of the broader Revelare group, there may be opportunities to contribute to projects through Revelare Systems, providing exposure to different survey disciplines, emerging technologies, and international projects.
We’re building a team that reflects the communities we work in and the future of the industry, bringing together a broader mix of skills, backgrounds, and experience.
About the role
As a Level 1 Hydrographic Surveyor, you’ll be responsible for the acquisition, quality control, and processing of hydrographic data across a range of environments including offshore, coastal, and infrastructure projects.
This role builds on your existing experience, with greater responsibility for survey execution, system setup, and data quality. You’ll work closely with Project Managers while supporting less experienced surveyors as required.
The role includes travel and deployment to project sites, including remote and offshore locations, with extended periods away from home.
What you'll be doing
As a Level 1 Hydrographic Surveyor, you'll contribute to hydrographic survey projects through the acquisition, quality control, processing, and delivery of survey data.

You'll also have opportunities to support and guide less experienced surveyors as part of your development.
