While the role is field-forward, we value candidates who can also contribute in the office when workload requires — processing data, assisting with drafting, conducting records research, and supporting preparation of survey deliverables.

• Perform routine field calculations and quality checks
• Maintain survey vehicles and equipment in safe, organized working condition
• Coordinate daily field activities and communicate effectively with the Survey Team and project staff
• Uphold safety protocols and exercise sound professional judgment
• Perform physically demanding tasks in varied terrain and weather conditions

Office / Technical Responsibilities:

• Process field data using Trimble Business Center and/or Civil 3D
• Assist with preparation of survey deliverables, including surveys, exhibits, and supporting documentation
• Conduct records research including surveys, deeds, subdivision plats, easements, right-of-way documents, and BLM/GLO materials
• Perform closures, dimension verification, and quality control review

• Experience operating UAV/drone systems for survey data collection
• Current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate preferred
• Experience with terrestrial LiDAR scanning equipment and point cloud processing
• Familiarity with GNSS workflows and control procedures
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D and/or Trimble Business Center

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• Strong attention to detail and sound analytical judgment
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of field assignments
• Ability to lift 50 pounds and perform physically demanding work in all weather conditions
• Flexibility to work extended hours when project schedules require
