Job Description

As a Senior Surveying Coordinator within Pomerleau’s Civil & Infrastructure team, you will play a central role in the planning, coordination, and strategic allocation of surveying teams across all of our projects. Working on large‑scale construction projects—ranging from $1.5 million to over $1 billion—you will act as a key liaison between field operational needs and HR management of surveying teams. Leveraging your in‑depth understanding of construction sites and their realities, you will ensure optimal resource placement to support our construction teams in delivering major projects.

What you will do

• Plan, organize, and coordinate the allocation of surveying workforce across all projects (civil, building, and major projects).
• Respond to field requests by determining who should be assigned where and when, based on operational needs and required skill sets.
• Ensure visibility and a comprehensive understanding of available resources and ongoing projects.
• Support and/or lead the recruitment of surveying resources in collaboration with the Talent Acquisition team.
• Maintain ongoing communication with superintendents and foremen to understand field realities and adjust assignments accordingly.
• Assign resources based on individual strengths, experience, and project type.
• Conduct occasional site visits to support teams, understand challenges, and adjust planning as needed.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of workforce management practices in surveying.
• Support the hiring process for new department employees and ensure their full integration.
• Ensure resources meet required qualifications by providing training as needed.
• Maintain a high level of professionalism and diplomacy in all communications.

This role could be for you if you have

• A degree in surveying or equivalent experience in a related technical role.
• Several years of field experience, ideally as a surveyor or in a field coordination role.
• Strong knowledge of surveying techniques and equipment.
• A desire to transition from a highly field‑based role to one more focused on planning and office‑based work, while maintaining a strong connection to operations.
• A strong ability to manage resources, plan workforce needs, and optimize personnel allocation.
• Strong communication skills: the ability to effectively engage with superintendents, foremen, and project managers—tact, responsiveness, and professionalism.
• An excellent understanding of field challenges and operational needs.
• Strong prioritization, organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple requests simultaneously.

Benefits

• RRSP with up to 5% employer matching
• Hybrid work model for corporate roles
• Employee stock ownership program
