Arizona Registered Land Surveyor

Overview

Advance Your Career:
Arizona Registered Land Surveyor (RLS) at CEC!

Are you ready to move beyond task-based work and take ownership of your professional future? This is your opportunity to lead, innovate, and grow with a nationally ranked firm that operates with the agility and ambition of a high‑growth startup. At Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC), we are seeking a driven, entrepreneurial Registered Land Surveyor (RLS) to lead and expand our survey practice in Phoenix, Arizona.

Why This Role Stands Out:
Ownership & Impact

This is more than a management position—it's a leadership opportunity. As a leader in our Phoenix survey operations, you'll have the autonomy to shape the future of the practice, challenge conventional approaches, and build something exceptional.

• Practice Leadership
  :
  Build and scale the Phoenix survey team. Recruit, train, and mentor field crews while setting a high‑performance standard.
• Project Management
  :
  Oversee the full project lifecycle—from fieldwork and technical approvals to budgeting and invoicing.
• Technical Oversight
  :
  Lead complex, multi‑disciplinary surveys (ALTA/NSPS, boundary, control) and ensure all documentation meets regulatory and quality standards.
• Quality Assurance
  :
  Serve as the final reviewer for all deliverables, maintaining rigorous quality control and consistency.

• Licensure
  :
  Arizona RLS certification required, or LSIT with the ability to obtain licensure promptly.
• Experience
  :
  Minimum of 3 years of professional land surveying experience.
• Technical Proficiency
  :
  Expertise with GPS, robotic total stations, and modern survey software. Familiarity with Trimble Access/TBC or AutoCAD is a strong advantage.
• Field Readiness
  :
  Valid driver’s license required for site visits and field operations.

Inclusive Culture
:
Join vibrant Employee Resource Groups like CEC Ignite (early‑career development) and CEC iDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, Acceptance).

Work‑Life Balance
:
Flexible work arrangements and comprehensive benefits that support your personal and professional well‑being.
