• Coordinate with office staff and drone team for evolving deliverables, including aerial mapping and LiDAR post-processing

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of field survey experience, including at least 2+ years as a Party Chief
• Strong construction stakeout experience required (residential or commercial)
• Proficiency with Leica Total Stations, GPS, and Captivate software
• Working knowledge of Civil 3D preferred (or willingness to learn office workflows)
• Comfortable leading field efforts on high-value residential projects
• Ability to read and interpret construction plans, perform calculations, and troubleshoot in the field
• Team-first mindset, clear communication, and the ability to mentor less-experienced field staff

Bonus Skills

• Exposure to DJI Terra or Leica’s drone mapping tools
• Interest in future transition to hybrid field/office role

What’s in It for You

• Work alongside 2 PLSs and a team that values professional development and career growth
• Access to advanced technology (Leica/Civil 3D/DJI)
• Supportive office with a culture of collaboration between field, CAD, and licensed staff
• Competitive compensation, overtime opportunities, and potential for future advancement
