Job description

Senior Land Survey Drafter

Location: Remote (Florida preferred), Hybrid, or In-office at West Palm Beach, FL

Job Type: Full-time

Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Company Overview: Nexgen is a premier land surveying firm dedicated to expanding our presence throughout Florida by providing top-tier surveying, mapping, and geospatial services. We provide mortgage surveys to title agents and real estate attorneys as well as construction surveying services for residential projects. Our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and precision drives us to deliver exceptional results, fostering growth and success for our clients and communities. We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Senior Land Survey Drafter or SIT to join our dynamic and growing team.

Job Summary: The Senior Land Survey Drafter serves as the central “traffic controller” and client advocate for all survey projects, overseeing workflow from client request through final delivery. In this role, this person manages outsourced research and drafting partners, ensuring projects are accurately scoped, properly assigned, delivered on schedule, and meet company quality standards. With production work handled externally, this position focuses on client communication, vendor coordination, quality assurance, and financial performance—balancing technical understanding with strong organizational and customer service skills to drive efficient, profitable project execution.

Why This Role is Different

No “Box” Time: The drafter is not expected to sit and draft; their value is in their eye for detail and ability to spot errors that others miss.

Profit Driver: Because they quote the work and manage the vendors, they are directly responsible for the cost-effectiveness of the survey department.

Key Responsibilities:

• Customer Consultation & Quoting: Serve as the primary point of contact for clients; scope project requirements and deliver accurate cost estimates and timelines.
• Outsourced Vendor Management: Distribute research tasks to due diligence partners and assign drafting projects to remote teams, ensuring all vendors have the necessary field data and client specs.
• QA/QC Oversight: Utilize previous drafting experience to rigorously review and redline deliverables from outsourced teams, ensuring they meet company standards and local regulations before client delivery.
• Technical Liaison: Translate complex client requests into clear instructions for drafting teams and resolve any technical discrepancies between field notes and office research.
• Schedule & Budget Tracking: Monitor the progress of all active survey task orders, tracking vendor invoices and ensuring project margins remain healthy.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or associate degree in surveying, geomatics, or a related field (preferred).
• Drafting Background: Must have significant experience in CAD-based survey production (AutoCAD Civil 3D/Carlson) to effectively audit outsourced work and provide technical guidance.
• Project Management: 1–5+ years in a coordination or management role within the land surveying industry.
• Communication Skills: Proven ability to manage client expectations and maintain professional relationships with multiple external vendors.
• Technical Fluency: Ability to analyze legal descriptions, title reports, and topographic data provided by outsourced due diligence teams.
• Detail-oriented and able to work independently or as part of a team.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Pay: $20.00 – $35.00 per hour, depending on experience (DOE)
• After 60 days: Medical, Vision, Dental, and Company-paid basic life insurance. Accident, critical illness, hospital, term and whole life offered on a voluntary basis.
• After 90 days: 401(k) savings program, Paid Time Off.
• After 6 months: responsible charge hour accrual opportunities.
