Meet Marc Keeley - Principal Surveyor at Matrix Consulting Engineers
We're proud to introduce Marc as part of our Employee Spotlight series!
Marc's journey into engineering started at 17, when a visit to the careers office led him to the Royal Engineers. After five years of military service, including deployments to Cyprus, the Falklands and Kenya, he earned his HND Level 3 in Survey Engineering and discovered a real passion for the profession.
From there, Marc spent nine years at Central Alliance, working his way up from Junior Surveyor to Senior Surveyor, gaining extensive experience across rail, highways, substations, canals and more.
Now at Matrix, Marc has taken on an exciting challenge, growing our survey department. From drone surveys and point cloud processing to topographical drawings and client liaison, he's shaping the future of surveying at Matrix.
Since joining, Marc has already made a real impact. His military discipline, technical expertise and hands-on approach have been invaluable as he establishes our surveying capabilities and expands the services we can offer our clients. We're excited to see the team grow under his leadership.
His standout moment so far? A drone survey of a 2.5km quarry across challenging, remote terrain, a project that took serious planning and left the client seriously impressed.
Outside of work, you'll find Marc bouldering or out hiking in the countryside.
His advice for new surveyors? "Learn a variety of things to begin with, then specialise later. Learn the theory and reason behind the processes."
Welcome to the team, Marc! 🙌
