Kristopher Humphries on Surveying, Spatial Tech & Solving the Industry Shortage | Ep 31
Surveying: one of the most critical — and least understood — parts of the built environment.
In this episode, I chat with Kristopher Humphries, General Manager, registered surveyor, and vocal champion for the future of spatial services in Australia.
We unpack what surveying actually is (spoiler: it’s more than holding a pole in hi-vis), how drones and digital tech are transforming the field, and why the next generation of engineers needs to understand its value.
We cover:
- Why surveying might be the best-kept career secret in construction
- How spatial data is key to unlocking faster housing delivery
- The real workforce shortage — and how mentoring can fix it
- How Kris once tracked down an 1850s boundary marker using just a metal detector and a shovel
If you’re into engineering, planning, or you’ve ever wondered how land gets turned into property — this one’s for you.
