• Perform topographic surveys, boundary surveys, right-of-way surveys, construction layout surveys, as-built surveys, and other land surveying tasks as required.
• Collect field data using Leica, Topcon, GPS/GNSS, UAV/drone technology, and other surveying equipment while ensuring accuracy and completeness.
• Establish and verify survey control points and property boundaries.
• Maintain detailed field notes, records, and survey documentation.
• Assist with construction staking and project layout activities.
• Maintain survey equipment and ensure calibration and functionality.

• Create, update, and maintain GIS databases, spatial datasets, and mapping applications.
• Develop and produce maps, exhibits, and geospatial analyses for engineering, land development, transportation, utility, and municipal projects.
• Integrate survey, GPS, aerial imagery, LiDAR, and engineering data into GIS platforms.
• Perform spatial analysis to support planning, permitting, infrastructure management, and environmental initiatives.
• Manage coordinate systems, projections, and geospatial data quality standards.
• Support asset inventory, utility mapping, and parcel management projects.

• Download, process, and manage survey data using AutoCAD Civil 3D and GIS software.
• Prepare survey drawings including topographic maps, boundary plats, construction layouts, easement exhibits, and as-built plans.
• Conduct research of deeds, plats, easements, land records, and right-of-way information.
• Collaborate with engineers, project managers, survey crews, and drafting staff to support project deliverables.
• Ensure compliance with surveying standards, GIS best practices, and project specifications.
• Organize and maintain survey and geospatial data with a strong emphasis on accuracy and data integrity.

• Experience performing land surveying and field data collection.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and survey drafting.
• Experience using Leica, Topcon, GPS/GNSS, or similar surveying equipment.
• Experience with GIS software, preferably Esri ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, or related platforms.
• Understanding of coordinate systems, geospatial datasets, and mapping principles.
• Ability to interpret survey records, plats, deeds, and legal descriptions.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• High level of attention to detail and data accuracy.

• Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) License or Surveyor-in-Training (SIT) certification.
• GIS Professional (GISP) certification.
• Experience with ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, QGIS, or similar platforms.
• Experience processing GPS/GNSS, LiDAR, drone/UAV, or photogrammetry data.
• Proficiency with Civil 3D, Carlson Survey, Micro Station, or related design software.
• Experience supporting utility, transportation, municipal, environmental, or land development projects.
• Familiarity with ALTA/NSPS surveys and right-of-way mapping.
