Job description

Overview

At Ascent Geomatics Solutions, the Project Manager (PM) leads and coordinates multidisciplinary projects that directly support upstream and midstream oil and gas development. Our project scopes include boundary and topographic surveys, aerial mapping and LiDAR deliverables, pipeline and facility routing, pad and access road civil design, and permitting with state and federal agencies. The PM is not expected to execute these technical tasks directly-each scope is managed by survey, GIS, design, and permitting leads-but the PM is accountable for integrating their work into cohesive project plans and deliverables.

The PM ensures projects are delivered on scope, schedule, and budget while maintaining strong client relationships. This includes supporting proposals and estimates, coordinating across technical teams, tracking progress in project management systems, and serving as the primary point of contact for assigned projects. Success in this role requires experience managing surveying, civil design, and permitting scopes in support of oil and gas projects, ideally grounded in prior hands-on work within professional services delivering these disciplines.

Project Managers at Ascent start with close collaboration and review from senior staff, building knowledge of our business and client expectations. As proficiency grows, the PM assumes increasing independence while remaining part of a collaborative culture dedicated to technical quality, client satisfaction, and profitable project delivery.

What You'll Do

• Lead project planning, proposals, budgeting, scheduling, and scope management.
• Coordinate survey crews, GIS specialists, civil designers, and permitting staff to deliver integrated services.
• Serve as the primary client point of contact, building strong relationships through proactive communication.
• Support proposals and estimates and contribute to business development efforts.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, project specific specifications, and company processes.

What We Offer

• Remote-first flexibility with a supportive, collaborative culture.
• Opportunities to work on diverse projects spanning oil & gas, renewables, and energy infrastructure.
• Close mentorship from senior staff, with a clear growth path toward greater independence.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Travel limited to client offices, project sites, and occasional in-person meetings (5-15%).

What You Bring

• 3-5+ years of project management or coordination experience in surveying, civil design, permitting, or energy-related projects.
• Familiarity with surveying, CAD for civil design, and GIS/mapping workflows preferred.
• Strong organizational, communication, and client-service skills.
• Ability to balance technical detail with business outcomes in a multidisciplinary environment.

Join Ascent Geomatics Solutions and help deliver the surveying, mapping, design, and permitting services that drive the future of energy infrastructure.
