Position Overview

We’re seeking a Surveyor in Training (SIT) who’s excited to build hands-on expertise in surveying and contribute to meaningful land development projects.

• Conduct field visits to verify construction accuracy and compliance with plans.
• Collaborate with civil engineers, architects, and construction teams.
• Stay current on industry standards, safety protocols, and regulations.
• Participate in hands-on training opportunities to develop and sharpen your skills.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Surveying, Geomatics, or related field.
• Active Surveyor in Training (SIT) licensure.
• Minimum 1 year of post-SIT surveying experience.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D—experience with surfaces, label styles, parcels, and plat drafting preferred.
• Familiarity with surveying software and tools; Trimble, GIS, or 3D scanning experience a plus.
• Strong math, analysis, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work in the field under various conditions and terrains.
• Valid driver’s license and physical ability to lift 50 lbs and perform repetitive movement.
• Commitment to pursuing your PLS within 4 years.

Preferred Qualifications
