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 softwarelike 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.
