• Conflict Identification: Identify and highlight spatial conflicts between existing underground utilities and proposed infrastructure designs.
• Quality Control: Review digital files for accuracy and completeness, ensuring adherence to ASCE 38 (Standard Guidelines for Investigating and Documenting Existing Utilities) and client-specific CAD standards.
• Deliverable Generation: Create permit sketches, cross-section drawings, and test-hole reports for project managers and clients.
• Team Collaboration: Communicate daily with SUE field crews, professional surveyors, and project engineers to resolve data discrepancies.

What We Are Looking For

• Associate degree in Civil Engineering Technology, Surveying Technology, GIS, Construction Technology, or a related field preferred; or equivalent experience
• 5 or more years of experience in subsurface utility engineering, surveying, civil engineering support, or related technical services
• 3 or more years of experience with AutoCAD Civil 3D, Micro Station, GIS software, or similar platforms
