Location: California

We are seeking a Land Surveyor to join our experienced team. In this role, you will conduct property surveys, subdivision mapping, construction staking, and as-built documentation. You will work closely with survey crews, civil engineers, project managers, and clients to support land development projects from planning through construction.

Key Responsibilities & Duties
  • Conduct boundary surveys, topographic surveys, and ALTA/ACSM surveys as needed for development or legal purposes.
  • Perform construction staking for site development, including buildings, utilities, streets, grading, and infrastructure.
  • Coordinate and manage field survey crews; schedule work, assign tasks, and ensure safety and productivity.
  • Use advanced surveying equipment: GPS/GNSS, total stations, robotic total stations, data collectors, and levels.
  • Process and reduce field data; generate survey maps, plats, legal descriptions, and CAD deliverables using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or other relevant software.
  • Prepare and review subdivision maps, lot-line adjustments, and other mapping deliverables for submittal and agency approval.
  • Research legal documents, property title data, previous surveys, and other records to establish or reestablish property boundaries.
  • Verify and validate survey data accuracy; perform calculations for distances, areas, elevations, and more.
  • Maintain field notes, survey logs, and as-built records; produce professional reports and correspondence.
  • Coordinate with clients, engineers, contractors, and city/regional agencies to understand project requirements, schedule, and deliverables.
  • Conduct quality control on survey work; identify and resolve discrepancies, boundary conflicts, or data inconsistencies.
  • Stay up-to-date on surveying best practices, technologies, and regulatory requirements.
  • Perform physical fieldwork, often on rough or uneven terrain, and work in outdoor conditions.
Qualifications & Skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in Surveying, Geomatics, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred.
  • State Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license preferred, or working toward licensure.
  • Minimum of 5 years (or more) of professional land surveying experience (boundary surveys, topographic surveys, construction staking, etc.).
  • Proficient in surveying software and tools:
    AutoCAD, Civil 3D, GIS, data collectors, GPS, total stations, robotic units.
  • Strong mathematical skills (geometry, trigonometry, algebra) for survey calculations.
  • Solid understanding of legal property descriptions, easements, right-of-ways, and related documentation.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — able to interact with field crews, engineers, project managers, and clients.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of maintaining accurate documentation and maps.
  • Ability to work both in the field (including rough terrain and variable weather) and in the office.
  • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel to job sites as required.
Preferred / Additional Qualifications
  • Experience with machine-control GPS systems for grading and construction layout.
  • Knowledge of subdivision mapping and project submittal processes (tentative maps, lot-line adjustments, record maps).
  • Familiarity with storm-water, hydrology, and environmental regulatory requirements, particularly as they relate to land development projects.
  • Experience with project cost estimating and client communications around surveying scope and pricing.
  • Ability to mentor junior survey technicians or crew members.
What We Offer
  • Opportunity to work on a variety of civil development projects (residential subdivisions, commercial, industrial).
  • Use of cutting-edge survey technology (GPS, robotic total stations) in both field and office environments.
  • Professional growth within a well-established firm with decades of land-development experience.
