Job Description

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.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading and performing boundary, topographic, and ALTA/NSPS surveys
• Executing construction staking with accuracy and efficiency
• Drafting records of survey and corner records
• Conducting quality control checks before deliverables go out
• Managing data downloads, photos, and field-to-office processing
• Operating total stations, GPS equipment, and data collectors like a pro
• Using AutoCAD and Civil 3D to produce clean, precise drafting

Qualifications

What You Bring

• Licensed California PLS preferred, or strong Crew Chief experience with clear path toward licensure
• Solid field survey background, with formal surveying education as a plus
• Hands-on experience with boundary, topo, ALTA, and construction staking
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D
• Comfort working across rugged terrain and in varied weather conditions
• Ability to lift up to 30 lbs, clear brush, dig, set markers, and load equipment
• Strong communication skills and a professional presence with clients on-site
• Self-motivation, reliability, and a meticulous eye for detail

Why is This a Great Opportunity

• Projects are primarily based in Santa Clarita and across Los Angeles County, including Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Glendale, and Pasadena.
• Local candidates are preferred, but hybrid flexibility is available for professionals who can meet crews on-site, work from a home office on admin days, and travel to the Santa Clarita office as needed.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn’t just a run the crew and go home role. It’s a chance to be trusted with high-value projects, work in some of California’s most sought-after locations, and contribute to a company that values precision, professionalism, and long-term growth.
