Career Launchpad

Your future, under construction

Don’t just get a job. Build a career that matters.

Most people walk into a hospital, school or stadium and simply expect to be safe. They don’t see the complex systems keeping the lights on and the exits clear – but we do.

At Formiga1, we are the guardians of the built environment. We’re looking for the next generation of building surveyors to help us ensure every person who enters a building is able to go home to their family safely.

We are referees for the real world

Why building surveying?
Think of us as the referees of the construction world. We don’t just "check boxes"; we interpret complex laws to ensure everyone plays by the safety rules. From the heritage-listed landmarks of Sydney and Melbourne to cutting-edge high-rise developments, our work is the "lifesaving intelligence" that prevents catastrophic failure.

High-tech tools with an old-school soul
You won’t be chained to a desk. You’ll be on-site with iPads and building analytics, using modern technology to solve murky compliance puzzles. But while we use the latest tools, we still believe in the "old school" approach: looking people in the eye, calling when we say we will and treating every project as if it were our own home.
