About The Role

As a Survey Party Chief, you serve as the leader of a field crew, taking charge of boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS surveys, topographic data collection, and construction staking. With a strong foundation in the principles and practices of surveying, you operate and adjust instruments such as total stations and GPS/GNSS receivers, including Trimble hardware and software like TSC3, Access, and TBC. Experience with laser scanning instruments is an added asset, helping you tackle complex tasks with modern precision. You know how to interpret engineering plans, legal descriptions, and deeds to collect all the data necessary for accurate and efficient survey work. Whether you're leveling, traversing, or mapping a new subdivision, you bring both skill and attention to detail. You’re familiar with AutoCAD Civil 3D, and although your focus is in the field, you understand how your data integrates into the broader workflow. With at least four years of experience, you’ve developed a keen eye for both boundary lines and the construction process. You know how projects progress on-site and can stake accurately using alignments, templates, and detailed construction plans—ensuring that each phase is executed correctly. You're also conscious of budgets, timelines, and safety procedures, and you lead your team with the professionalism and efficiency that clients have come to expect from Galloway. Beyond technical skills, you are a communicator. You keep your team informed, interact effectively with other disciplines on shared projects, and represent Galloway in a way that strengthens client relationships. Your field performance helps drive new business development, simply by delivering excellent work that clients trust. You’re licensed to drive and ready to travel as needed, sometimes on short notice, for assignments across the region. In addition to being self-directed, you thrive in a leadership role—able to operate independently while managing your crew with a calm and capable demeanor.
