Survey Project Manager

We are exclusively partnering with a well-established and highly respected organization within the surveying, construction, and land development industry that is experiencing significant growth and expanding its team.

They are seeking a Survey Project Manager who can step in, take ownership, and become a trusted member of the organization. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated self-starter who enjoys managing multiple projects, building strong client relationships, and working closely with both office and field teams to deliver high-quality results.

The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, knows how to prioritize competing demands, and can confidently keep projects moving forward from start to finish. This individual will serve as a key point of coordination between clients, field crews, engineers, contractors, and public agencies, ensuring projects remain on track and communication flows smoothly.

What stood out most about this opportunity is the company’s desire to find someone they can rely on, someone who takes ownership, communicates proactively, and can be trusted to manage projects with minimal oversight. They are looking for a professional who understands construction and development processes, can navigate multiple active projects simultaneously, and enjoys being the person who brings people together to get things done.

Position Summary

The Survey Project Manager will oversee survey projects from initiation through completion, coordinating with clients, engineers, contractors, public agencies, and internal field personnel to ensure projects are completed accurately, efficiently, and on schedule.

This role serves as the quarterback of the project team, helping prioritize resources, remove roadblocks, maintain strong communication, and keep projects moving while fostering long-term client relationships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage multiple survey projects simultaneously from kickoff through completion.
  • Coordinate project activities between clients, field crews, engineers, contractors, and public agencies.
  • Monitor schedules, deadlines, and deliverables to ensure projects remain on track.
  • Review project status and proactively address issues that could impact timelines.
  • Support and guide field and office personnel throughout project execution.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships through clear communication and responsiveness.
  • Ensure survey deliverables meet company and client expectations.
  • Collaborate closely with leadership and technical staff to prioritize workload and resources.
  • Identify project bottlenecks and help drive timely resolution.

Qualifications

  • Experience managing surveying, civil engineering, construction, or land development projects.
  • Strong understanding of project coordination and client management.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD required.
  • Civil 3D experience strongly preferred.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
  • Surveying industry experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership and operate with a high level of accountability.

Why This Opportunity?

  • Join a growing and respected organization with a strong reputation in the industry.
  • Opportunity to make an immediate impact and become a key member of the team.
  • High visibility role working closely with leadership.
  • Diverse project portfolio and collaborative work environment.
  • Opportunity to help shape project success and long-term client relationships.

Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in this opportunity or know someone who may be a strong fit. I'd love to connect and share additional details.
