What is a data survey?

A Data Survey job involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data gathered from surveys or questionnaires. Professionals in this role design survey instruments, distribute them to target populations, and compile the responses to extract meaningful insights. They may also be responsible for ensuring data accuracy, maintaining databases, and presenting findings to stakeholders. Data Survey specialists often work in fields like market research, social sciences, or public health. Their work helps organizations make informed decisions based on empirical evidence.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a data survey specialist?

To thrive as a Data Survey Specialist, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and experience with survey methodologies, often supported by a degree in statistics, social science, or a related field. Familiarity with survey software (such as Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey), data analysis tools (like Excel or SPSS), and data visualization platforms is typically required. Excellent communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities help you design effective surveys and interpret results accurately. These skills are essential for collecting reliable data, ensuring high response rates, and delivering actionable insights to inform decision-making.

What are some common challenges faced by data survey professionals in ensuring data accuracy and reliability?

Data Survey professionals often encounter challenges such as inconsistent responses, incomplete data submissions, and biases in survey design or sampling. Ensuring data accuracy requires careful questionnaire construction, robust validation protocols, and frequent data cleaning. Collaborating closely with data analysts and subject matter experts helps address these issues, while ongoing training in best practices and emerging survey technologies can further enhance data reliability.

Full-time
Description
The Opportunity
RETTEW is seeking a Survey CAD Designer to join our Survey & GIS Team. This role is a great fit for a CAD professional with strong AutoCAD Civil 3D skills who wants to expand their experience into surveying and geospatial project work.
Previous survey drafting experience is valuable, but it is not required. If you have a solid Civil 3D foundation, strong attention to detail, and experience collaborating with technical project teams, RETTEW can help you develop the survey-specific skills needed for the role.
You'll support projects across transportation, land development, municipal, energy, environmental, and other infrastructure markets while working closely with survey field teams, project managers, engineers, and other technical professionals.
Work Environment
Workplace Designation: Hybrid
Locations: Williamsport, PA or Mechanicsburg, PA
This position combines in-office collaboration with remote-work flexibility in alignment with RETTEW's applicable hybrid schedule.
What You'll Do
As a Survey CAD Designer, you will use Civil 3D to transform field and project information into accurate drawings, mapping, and survey deliverables.
Depending on your previous experience, you may work with boundary and topographic surveys, ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys, subdivision plans, easement and right-of-way exhibits, existing-conditions mapping, construction stakeout information, and other survey deliverables.
You'll collaborate directly with survey field teams and project managers while developing deeper knowledge of survey data, standards, workflows, and production methods.
As a Survey/GIS CAD Designer at RETTEW, you will:
  • Prepare and revise survey drawings, mapping, exhibits, and other project deliverables using AutoCAD Civil 3D.
  • Work with field and project data to support accurate CAD production.
  • Develop and maintain drawing layouts, annotation, linework, surfaces, points, and other Civil 3D elements as applicable to project needs.
  • Incorporate redlines, review comments, CAD standards, templates, and project requirements into deliverables.
  • Support preparation of boundary, topographic, ALTA/NSPS, subdivision, easement, right-of-way, existing-conditions, and other survey drawings.
  • Collaborate with survey field crews to understand field information and resolve questions or inconsistencies.
  • Coordinate with Professional Land Surveyors and Survey Project Managers regarding project requirements and deliverables.
  • Coordinate survey information with engineering, design, and other multidisciplinary project teams.
  • Support quality-control processes to help ensure drawings are accurate, complete, and consistent with project standards.
  • Develop proficiency with survey field data, GPS/GNSS information, total-station data, point files, drone/UAS data, point clouds, and other survey technologies as project needs and experience progress.
Qualifications
Required
  • Demonstrated working proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D in a professional CAD, design, engineering, surveying, or infrastructure environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate CAD production.
  • Ability to incorporate technical review comments and revisions into drawings.
  • Ability to manage multiple assignments and meet project deadlines.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with project managers, technical professionals, multidisciplinary teams, and field personnel.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.
  • Associate degree in CAD, drafting, surveying technology, civil engineering technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience.

Additional Experience We Value
  • Survey drafting or survey-production experience.
  • Boundary or topographic survey plan preparation.
  • ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey experience.
  • Surface creation and topographic mapping.
  • Survey point management, point groups, and linework.
  • GPS/GNSS or total-station data.
  • Subdivision plans and plats.
  • Easement or right-of-way exhibits.
  • Existing-conditions or utility mapping.
  • Reading deeds, plats, easements, or survey records.
  • Drone/UAS or point-cloud data.
  • Survey drawing QA/QC.

Survey-specific experience is not required. Candidates with strong Civil 3D experience from other civil engineering or infrastructure disciplines are encouraged to apply.
What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications.
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving employees a stake in RETTEW's long-term success.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits.
  • Hybrid work environment with structured flexibility.
  • An opportunity to expand strong Civil 3D skills into surveying, mapping, and geospatial applications.
  • Hands-on exposure to field-to-finish survey workflows and technologies.
  • Training and mentorship from experienced survey professionals.
  • Opportunities to work across transportation, land development, municipal, environmental, energy, and infrastructure projects.
  • Professional development and opportunities for continued technical and career growth.
