Licensed Surveyor

Who You Are:

To strengthen our capabilities and reduce our reliance on third-party surveying firms, we are expanding our in-house surveying services. We are seeking an experienced Professional Licensed Surveyor (PLS) to lead this initiative, ensuring compliance with state regulations while helping our team deliver more licensed surveyor-certified work internally.

Key Responsibilities:

Expand In-House Surveying Capabilities:

– Support our team’s transition away from outsourcing by developing in-house licensed surveying services.

– Provide professional certification, review, and approval of surveying and mapping deliverables.

– Help our team obtain and maintain surveying licenses in multiple states where we operate.

Professional Surveying & Compliance:

– Serve as the licensed surveyor of record in states where we offer professional surveying services.

– Ensure regulatory compliance with state and federal land surveying laws.

– Oversee boundary, topographic, and volumetric surveys for mining, landfill, and utility projects.

Geospatial Data Validation & Integration:

– Support UAV-based LiDAR and photogrammetry processing, ensuring accuracy for stockpile measurement, terrain modeling, and volumetric calculations.

– Develop workflows for integrating ground control points (GCPs), RTK/PPK corrections, and GPS survey data into our deliverables.

– Perform QA/QC on drone and mobile mapping datasets to ensure survey-grade accuracy.

Field Surveying & Remote Sensing Support:

– Conduct ground-based and UAV-assisted survey operations, including boundary surveys, topographic mapping, and site inspections.

– Assist in developing methodologies for subsurface mines, landfill topography monitoring, and utility inspections.

– Work with engineering and GIS teams to enhance reality capture workflows for site modeling.

Client & Regulatory Engagement:

– Interface with clients to understand project needs and expand our licensed surveyor services.

– Prepare and certify legal descriptions, boundary maps, and as-built surveys.

– Stay up to date with industry trends and grow our licensing footprint.

• 5+ years of experience in land surveying, geomatics, or geospatial engineering.
• Strong knowledge of LiDAR, photogrammetry, RTK/PPK GPS, and UAV-based surveying methodologies.
• Proficiency with survey software (e.g., Trimble Business Center, Leica Infinity, Pix4D, Global Mapper, QGIS, AutoCAD Civil 3D).
• Experience in mining, solid waste, or utility surveying is a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Be a key part of our expansion into in-house licensed surveying services.
• Work with a team of experts in drone-based mapping, methane detection, and geospatial data analytics.
• Help shape the future of UAV-based surveying and professional geospatial services.
• Opportunity to work in diverse industries, including mining, solid waste, and utilities.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and opportunities for professional development.
