Senior Construction Layout & Survey Manager

Description

Senior Construction Layout & Survey Manager

Central Missouri (Sedalia, Columbia, Jefferson City areas)

Septagon Construction Company

About Septagon

We're a commercial general contractor serving Missouri and Iowa, focused on design-build and self-perform work. We take pride in doing quality work-and we're always looking for ways to do it better.

About This New Role

At Septagon, we're building a centralized layout and survey function and we're looking for someone who wants to take ownership, enhance and standardize operations, and make it better across the board.

This isn't just a total station role. This is your chance to shape how layout gets done across multiple projects.

What You'll Be Doing

Own Layout Across Projects

• Run and oversee total station layout (Topcon preferred)
• Set control points and make sure everything lines up exactly how it should
• Layout anchor bolts, embeds, and structural components
• Catch issues before they turn into expensive problems

Work With the People Who Actually Build It

• Partner with Project Managers & Superintendents
• Help solve layout challenges in real time
• Keep jobs moving instead of slowing them down

Build on Existing Processes (and Address What's Missing)

• Create better processes for how layout is done
• Bring consistency across jobs
• Reduce rework and make everyone's life easier

Own the Technology

• Manage total station equipment and layout files
• Keep field and design data clean and organized
• Help us get smarter and more efficient with how we use technology

Help Others Get Better

• Train field teams on layout processes
• Be the go-to person when things don't look right

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in construction layout, surveying, or field engineering
• You actually understand how things get built-not just what the plans say
• Strong total station experience (Topcon is a plus)
• Someone who notices problems and fixes them instead of walking past them
• Able to juggle multiple projects without losing the details

Why This Role Is Different

• You're not stuck on one job-you'll impact all of them
• You'll build systems, not just follow them
• You'll play a direct role in reducing rework and improving performance
• You'll have real input on how things are done moving forward

Let's Talk

If you're someone who wants more than just a job-and actually wants to build something and make an impact -we'd like to talk.
