Job Description

Our Cowley, Wyoming team is expanding and would encourage applicants to consider relocating to the area! Located in the northwest area of Wyoming, Cowley is a hidden gem for peaceful small‑town living and working. The rural community is close‑knit with a strong sense of belonging.

The area is perfect to grow and raise a family, with a safe community, local school system, and traditional events and youth activities.

Cowley is located near both the Pryor Mountains and the Bighorn Mountains and has many outdoor activities for year‑round activities: hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and skiing. Close scenic destinations include Yellowstone National Park and Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.

Our Stahly office is part of the Pryor Mountain Engineering team, a Stahly company, that works with many of the surrounding local communities to service their engineering and land surveying needs.
