Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage files, drawings, and revisions carefully
Good time management and the ability to work to deadlines
Ability to work independently in a remote role while staying responsive and proactive within the team

Why Join Us

We have a highly driven team of dedicated and passionate people working remotely around the world, and we are building businesses with strong long-term ambition. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of that growth and contribute meaningfully to a team that values quality, communication, and accountability.

This role suits someone who enjoys remote work, takes ownership of their output, and wants to be part of a professional team where detail and consistency matter.

How to Apply

Please submit:

your CV / resume
a cover letter including:
your current employment status
your availability to start
why you want to join the team
why you believe you are a strong fit for this role
your experience with Australian surveying workflows or companies, if applicable
Before We Proceed

Before we potentially proceed to the interview stage, we’d like to gather a few details to make sure the role is a good fit and that you’ll be set up for success working remotely with our team.

1) PC / Laptop specifications + internet speed
Please share your device specs, including CPU, RAM, and storage, along with a recent internet speed test result. We need reliable performance and strong internet to support day-to-day work.

2) Current employment or side work (transparency request)
Are you currently employed or doing any side jobs or freelance work? We’re open to offshore tea ---------- mbers having multiple jobs — what matters most to us is transparency, so we understand your typical schedule and can support you properly.

3) Hubstaff tracker
Are you comfortable using Hubstaff time tracking? Our whole team operates remotely, including our field and admin staff in Australia. Hubstaff helps us understand time allocation across projects, improve internal reporting, and provide clearer updates to clients.

4) Working hours / availability
Can you commit to the required hours? Our standard workdays are Monday to Friday, generally within 9:00am–5:00pm (Philippines time). We offer reasonable flexibility — family and life come first — but we do need consistency and clear communication.

5) Expected salary (PHP)
If this differs from what was listed in the advert, please confirm your expected salary in PHP.

6) CV / Resume
Please attach your CV if you haven’t already.

7) Relevant training / courses
Please include any relevant training certificates or courses you’ve completed.

8) English level

We’re looking for people who are humble, reliable, and easy to work with — because every role matters, and the most important thing is a happy team doing work they enjoy, surrounded by like-minded people.

Thanks, and we look forward to your reply.
