Party Chief-Valencia, CA & LA, CA

PARTY CHIEF Overview

You'll be the boots‑on‑the‑ground leader guiding boundary and topographic surveys, ALTA/NSPS surveys, and construction staking across some of LA's most iconic neighborhoods, from the Hollywood Hills to Malibu's coastline. One day you're setting hubs on a hillside property in Beverly Hills, the next you're drafting a record of survey that will outlive all of us.

This role blends field leadership with technical finesse. You'll manage field‑to‑office data workflows, oversee quality control, and ensure every survey meets professional and regulatory standards. If you're a Licensed California Professional Land Surveyor, fantastic. If you're an experienced Crew Chief who's ready and able to pursue licensure, they're open to that journey too.
