About the role

African Industries Group is recruiting an Assistant Surveyor in Lagos for a role supporting land and engineering survey activities in an industrial environment. The position is practical and field-oriented: the assistant will help carry out surveys, operate surveying instruments, prepare survey reports and field notes, establish control points and site layouts, verify measurements and maintain accurate survey records. The work also involves supporting civil-engineering and project teams during site development, which means the survey information produced must be reliable enough to guide construction and engineering decisions. The listing states that experience in manufacturing, engineering, industrial or construction environments is preferred, while steel-industry experience is an advantage. This makes the opportunity particularly relevant to a survey technician or early-career surveyor who wants to build experience in a large industrial setting. The advertised qualification range is OND, HND or a bachelor's degree in Surveying, Geomatics or a related discipline, with 1–3 years of relevant experience. The deadline is October 9, 2026. Applicants should make their CV show practical familiarity with surveying instruments and workflows. Instead of only writing 'land surveying,' explain which instruments have been used, whether you have worked on setting-out, control points, topographic surveys, construction layouts, measurement verification or site documentation. Accuracy is central to the job, so examples of maintaining reliable records and checking measurements are useful. Candidates with construction-site exposure should make that visible, especially if they have worked alongside civil engineers, quantity surveyors or project teams. The position is full-time and based in Lagos. The role can provide a practical route for someone building a career in industrial surveying, construction surveying, geomatics or engineering-site support.
