This is your opportunity to join a team where your expertise is respected, your leadership is valued, and your impact is visible.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Lead high-profile survey projects: boundary surveys, ALTA surveys, topographic, IDOT plats, and more.
• Drive project budgets, proposals, and resource planning while managing multiple large projects simultaneously.
• Mentor and oversee survey teams, shaping the next generation of survey professionals.

• Work for a firm recognized as a Best Place to Work and known for its award-winning culture.

What You Bring:

• Licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) with 10+ years of Illinois experience.
• Strong skills in AutoCAD, Micro Station, Trimble Business Center, and field surveying equipment (Trimble robotic total station & GPS).

What Top Talent Will Appreciate:

• Gain mentorship and professional development from industry leaders.
• Join a team that consistently delivers quality and innovation in surveying.
