Professional Land Surveyor

gpac

Professional Land Surveyor (PLS)

This opportunity is for a licensed Professional Land Surveyor who wants more than a routine role—someone who enjoys solving complex boundary challenges, mentoring others, and leveraging modern surveying technology to deliver high-quality results. You'll join a collaborative, employee-focused environment where technical excellence, trust, and long-term career growth are core values.

In this role, you'll apply professional surveying judgment across a diverse portfolio of projects, translating records, data, and field information into accurate, defensible deliverables. You'll guide survey teams, ensure quality standards are met, and play a visible role in advancing projects that support infrastructure, development, and community growth.

What You'll Do

  • Analyze and interpret deeds, plats, title reports, and historical survey records
  • Perform complex survey and geomatics calculations to support mapping and platting
  • Lead production of boundary surveys, ALTA surveys, existing conditions surveys, subdivision and CIC plats, registered land surveys, right-of-way and routing surveys, and survey exhibits
  • Oversee QA/QC to ensure compliance with project requirements and applicable regulations
  • Direct and mentor survey field and office staff, supporting professional development
  • Coordinate project scope, schedules, and deliverables while communicating clearly with internal and external stakeholders
  • Support residential and development services through review of lot certifications, grading as-builts, and foundation as-builts
  • Contribute to proposals, estimates, and workload planning as needed

What You Bring

  • Licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS)
  • Bachelor's degree in Land Surveying, GIS, or a related field
  • 5+ years of progressive surveying experience
  • Strong command of land surveying principles, practices, and regulations
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D and common survey data workflows
  • Experience with survey data processing and adjustment software
  • Working knowledge of modern field equipment and data collection procedures
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Clear communicator with a collaborative, client-focused mindset

Preferred Experience

  • Multi-state licensure or ability to obtain additional licenses
  • Familiarity with transportation agency surveying and mapping standards
  • Experience with alternative design platforms
  • Interest or experience with UAS, LiDAR/HD scanning, and advanced data extraction

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Employee-centric culture with long-term career paths
  • Strong emphasis on professional development, mentorship, and technical growth
  • Exposure to diverse, technically interesting projects
  • Flexible work environment and supportive leadership
  • Opportunity to influence processes, standards, and team success
