Surveying Project Manager / Field Crew Supervisor

Project Manager / Field Crew Supervisor Position : Full-Time, On-Site Location : Kissimmee, FL 34744

SUMMARY OF POSITION

This role owns field operations for every active survey - crew scheduling, work sequencing, equipment accountability, and field-data quality. It exists because field execution is where survey margin is won or lost: idle crews, repeat site visits, and bad field data destroy project profitability and stall deliverables. Success means crews run at high billable utilization, projects close on or under their field budget, and data reaches CAD clean enough to draft without rework. The role directs party chiefs and instrument operators day to day and coordinates directly with clients, the office, and the CAD team on scope and field conditions. It carries direct accountability for safety and Florida field-survey standards on every job. Performance is measured on utilization, budget variance, on-time completion, and rework - not effort.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The metrics that matter most for the position include: Billable field-crew utilization % Project field-budget variance (actual vs. estimated field hours) On-time field-completion rate % Field-data accuracy / rework rate % Repeat site-visit rate % Equipment calibration compliance and uptime % Preventable safety incidents (#)

WHAT YOU'LL DO
