Registered Professional Land Surveyor

Our client, a growing professional land surveying and geospatial firm in North Texas, is seeking a Texas Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS) to provide professional oversight, direct supervision, technical review, quality assurance, and signing and sealing of professional survey deliverables.

The role will involve reviewing survey research, field data, calculations, boundary evidence, CAD drawings, legal descriptions, plats, easement and right-of-way exhibits, and other professional surveying documents. The RPLS will identify deficiencies and direct additional research, fieldwork, calculations, or revisions when professionally necessary before approving, signing, or sealing final deliverables.
