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.

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.
