The development sector, which is the third-largest sector in the country, has always been a primary source of career opportunities for graduates in the Geospatial field. Despite the abundance of job offers, however, the career of a land surveyor remains to be less popular than those in the same field.
Lack of exposure is the main factor as to why students are showing less interest in the field, with some remaining oblivious to the existence of such programmes in IPTA/IPTS. Therefore, with so many students still unsure of their future educational endeavours, we have prepared a comprehensive guide on what is expected of a land surveyor as well as career opportunities for students upon graduation.
What are the tasks of a land surveyor? Basically, a land surveyor will measure and decide the boundaries of a specific land to avoid conflict with nearby landowners before any project is launched. Any data collected after the measurements are taken will become the reference for the involved parties of the project such as the architects, engineers, contractors and the likes. Graduates are also opened to apply for related jobs such as below:
The Salary Range of Land Surveyors in Malaysia
A license land surveyor’s salary begins from RM10,000 and above, depending on the person’s working experience. Usually, the salary ranges based on qualifications are from RM2000 to RM4000 (degree), RM2000 to RM 2500 (Diploma) and RM1800 to RM2000 (Certificate). However, if your qualifications include a diploma and previous experience with established construction companies, a higher salary may be offered by the employer. It all depends highly on the experience and skills, not just qualifications.
Geomatic Courses in IPTA/IPTS
To those interested to continue their studies in this field, there are a couple of public and private institutions that offer the courses, such as Geospatial Science & Technology College (GSTC), UiTM, UTM and others.
For public institution, you need to fulfill the required qualifications aside from competing with thousands of other applicants. So your chances might be significantly slim. But don’t give up just yet! Consider applying at IPTS for the same field, such as Geospatial Science & Technology College in Kuala Lumpur, that has the same accreditation and prestige from other public institution.
This college is your best shot because the course focuses only on the geomatical field as well as provides experienced expert practitioners as lecturers. To those who are interested to pursue this course while working, a part-time programme at GSTC is also available. For more information regarding the entry requirements, duration of study and the likes, click on the list below to your desired programme.
