SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Survey projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the accuracy and compliance standards NexGen's clients expect, with the Professional Land Surveyor owning quality control from project kickoff through signed and sealed deliverable.
• Client and vendor relationships are strong and growing because the Professional Land Surveyor engages confidently, communicates proactively, and treats every external interaction as an opportunity to reinforce NexGen's reputation and generate the next project.
• The role evolves into a revenue-driving leadership position, with the Professional Land Surveyor building the depth of contribution that frees senior leadership to focus on organizational expansion and strategic growth across new markets.

OBJECTIVES

• Oversee and manage all phases of land surveying projects including boundary, topographic, construction, and as‑built surveys, ensuring accuracy, regulatory compliance, and quality from planning through delivery.

• Manage vendor and subcontractor relationships, coordinating field operations logistics and holding external partners to the quality and timeline standards required on every project.
• Perform boundary analysis, coordinate geometry calculations, and resolve property line discrepancies in accordance with applicable surveying law and professional standards.
• Lead the adoption of new survey technologies and methods including GPS, LiDAR, and drone mapping, evaluating tools for accuracy, efficiency, and application to NexGen's growing service offerings.
• Assist in business development through proposal preparation, client meetings, professional networking, and active participation in industry organizations and events.
• Maintain and continuously improve quality control systems, ensuring data accuracy and consistency across all project deliverables and conducting internal reviews that identify and resolve errors before delivery.
• Enforce safety protocols across all field operations, building a team culture where safe working practices are understood, followed, and never treated as optional.
• Represent NexGen Land Solutions in a professional and growth‑oriented manner, building the external reputation and client trust that supports long‑term revenue growth and geographic expansion.

COMPETENCIES

• Licensed and technically skilled across the full range of land surveying disciplines, with the ability to oversee, review, and certify work product on boundary, topographic, construction, and as‑built projects.
• Comfortable and confident in client‑facing interactions, engaging customers and vendors directly, explaining technical concepts in accessible language, and managing relationships with the communication strength that drives repeat business and referrals.
• Strong team leader who can supervise field crews and office staff, provide hands‑on mentorship, and hold team members accountable to performance and quality standards in a way that builds capability rather than dependence.
• Revenue‑minded and growth‑oriented, approaching every client interaction, proposal, and project delivery as an opportunity to strengthen the relationship, expand scope, and contribute directly to NexGen's business development goals.
• Experienced in managing vendor and subcontractor relationships, coordinating field logistics, enforcing quality expectations, and resolving issues directly without escalating every problem to senior leadership.
• Proficient with GPS, total stations, data collectors, and survey software including AutoCAD Civil 3D, Trimble Business Center, or comparable platforms, and eager to lead the team's adoption of emerging survey technologies.
• Organized project manager capable of running multiple concurrent projects with competing deadlines, keeping budgets on track, and communicating proactively when scope or timeline risks emerge.
• Embodies NexGen's IDEA values and fundamentals, committed to continuous growth, hungry to improve, and treats every challenge as fuel rather than a reason to slow down.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

• Active Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license in the applicable state is required; candidates with recently issued license numbers reflecting current‑era training and modern survey technology proficiency are strongly preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Geomatics, Surveying Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field is preferred; equivalent professional experience combined with an active PLS license will be considered.

• Proficiency with GPS, total stations, data collectors, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Trimble Business Center, and standard field‑to‑finish workflows; experience with LiDAR, drone mapping, or other advanced survey technologies is a strong plus.
