Establishment

TSS Total Surveying Solutions (TSS) is a 100% Indigenous owned business that commenced operation in 2004. We are a team of highly experienced and professional land and engineering surveyors covering the Greater Sydney Region, NSW Central and South Coasts, Melbourne and Regional Victoria.

TSS is a multifaceted company with a broad spectrum of works including construction, civil and laser scanning projects to private residential and commercial land development. In recent years we have chosen to prioritise ethically focused works with an emphasis of bettering the future: such as public transport, road and rail, renewable resource facilities, hospitals, school and community development as well as environmental preservation projects.

We offer a Scholarship that is intended to provide financial support to a student whilst they undertake their studies and pursue a career in the surveying industry. The successful recipient will be offered the opportunity to obtain work experience with TSS during their semester breaks.

This Scholarship will enable the recipient to build an ongoing relationship with TSS with a view to consider a future career with us.

One Scholarship will be awarded annually.
