Land Survey Crew Chief

Position Overview Johnston's Surveying is hiring a Crew Chief to lead field crews of Survey Techs on boundary, topographic, and construction staking surveys across Central Florida. You're the senior field presence on-site - running the crew, owning the data quality, and making the field calls that a tech isn't yet trusted to make. This is a leadership role with a clear path to Party Chief. Key Responsibilities Crew Leadership: Direct a crew of 1-2 Survey Techs - assign tasks, set pace, and keep the crew productive through the full workday. Field Judgment: Make the on-the-ground calls a tech can't - methodology decisions, boundary interpretation issues, when to re-shoot, when to re-shoot, when to re-shoot, when to re-shoot, when to re-shoot, when ... Equipment Ownership: Operate and maintain GPS/GNSS units, robotic total stations, and data collectors; responsible for the crew's equipment condition and calibration. Quality Control: Review field data before leaving the site. A bad shot on-site is a call-back on JSI's dime - this is the seat that stops that. Training: Develop Survey Techs on the crew - proper equipment use, field technique, safety habits. Client & Site Coordination: Primary point of contact on-site for clients, contractors, and property owners. Owns communication back to the office same-day on delays, access issues, or scope changes. Safety: Enforces field safety standards for the crew and is accountable for the crew's compliance. Qualifications & Requirements Experience: 3+ years of field surveying experience, with demonstrated crew leadership. Prior Crew Chief title preferred but not required if you've been running a crew informally. Technical Proficiency: Strong command of GPS/GNSS, robotic total stations, and data collection software (Trimble, Carlson, or similar), plus the ability to troubleshoot equipment issues in the field without office support. Physical Stamina: Full-day capability standing, walking uneven terrain, and lifting/carrying up to 40 lbs of equipment. Leadership: Comfortable directing others, owning outcomes, and being the one who answers for the crew's work. Attention to Detail: Understands that field accuracy is the foundation everything downstream depends on. Environmental Adaptability: Full-shift outdoor work in Florida heat, rain, and variable terrain. Valid driver's license, able to operate a company vehicle to job sites. #J-18808-Ljbffr Intuit, Inc.
