About The Company

Galloway & Company, Inc. is a people-first company where collaboration, innovation, and career growth are at the heart of everything we do. You will grow personally and professionally with a supportive culture, flexible work environment, and strong focus on leadership development. You’ll also work on diverse, impactful projects alongside multidisciplinary professionals who are passionate about making a difference. At Galloway, you’re not just building communities — you’re building a fulfilling career.

About The Role

Survey Project Manager – You bring deep expertise in the principles and practices of land surveying, including a solid understanding of equipment use, easements, and the research involved in property and boundary determination. You’ve likely spent over a decade immersed in the field, developing a sharp eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to accuracy. You are a seasoned leader capable of guiding both field crews and office teams through the complex world of surveying.

You’re no stranger to AutoCAD Civil 3D and other specialized survey software, using these tools to create and oversee survey drawings, boundary computations, topographical data, ALTA surveys, and construction layouts.

Your day‑to‑day responsibilities range from managing project schedules and budgets to ensuring field crews have all the necessary calculations, alignments, and digital files they need to execute accurate staking and layouts. You regularly prepare and review construction as‑builts, ensuring every detail aligns with design intent and field conditions.

Your role extends beyond technical expertise. You’re a mentor and coach—actively involved in hiring, training, and empowering junior staff through daily on‑the‑job training. Delegation comes naturally, and you balance oversight with trust, helping your team grow while ensuring quality standards are met.

You will prepare and deliver proposals. This involves determining the type of survey needed—such as boundary, topographic, or construction staking—and analyzing the specific requirements of the site or project. Relying on project plans, client input, and regulatory parameters to accurately estimate the complexity and volume of the surveying tasks.

Communication is central to your approach. Whether working with clients or internal stakeholders, you’re the link that connects technical execution with strategic vision. You collaborate closely with external clients on deliverables and actively engage in business development—helping the firm grow its footprint through exceptional service and relationships.

Travel may occasionally take you into the field, but you’re ready—with a current driver’s license in good standing and a flexible attitude toward short‑term travel assignments.

This opportunity is ideal for someone with 2+ years of experience, supported by a high school or technical education with emphasis in survey technology—or equivalent practical experience.

Qualifications

• A PLS license or the ability to obtain one in a year (required)
• A minimum of a high school diploma or technical school education in surveying technology—or equivalent experience
• At least 2-5 years of experience in survey project management or leadership

The estimated starting base salary for this role is $115,000-135,000.

Beyond Base Salary

• 100% employer‑paid benefits, setting a high standard in the industry
• Opportunities for biannual performance bonuses and profit sharing
• A workplace culture that emphasizes internal promotion, mentorship, and career advancement
• Nationally recognized as a great place to work—thanks to our outstanding teams and commitment to quality
