Job description

Land Survey CAD Technician

Position Overview

We are seeking a dedicated Land Survey CAD Technician with specialized industry experience to join our team. This position requires a solid foundation in land surveying principles and drafting standards. You will be responsible for processing field crew data, interpreting legal descriptions, and producing precise, client-ready survey deliverables—including ALTA/NSPS, boundary, topographic, and construction plats.

Key Responsibilities

  • Survey Field Data Processing: Import, review, and reduce raw field data, point files, feature codes, and field sketches collected by survey crews using Civil 3D.

  • Plat & Map Preparation: Prepare complete survey deliverables—including ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys, Boundary Plats, Topographic Maps, Right-of-Way drawings, and Subdivision Plats—in strict compliance with state minimum technical standards.

  • COGO & Legal Description Reconciliation: Perform Coordinate Geometry (COGO) calculations to plot deeds, easements, title commitments, and historical survey records against physical field evidence.

  • Surface & Contour Modeling: Generate precise 3D digital terrain models (DTMs), contours, breaklines, and volume calculations from topographic field data and point clouds.

  • Technical Quality Control: Work directly with Professional Land Surveyors (PLS) and Field Crew Chiefs to resolve line-work discrepancies, verify boundary logic, and enforce layer, scale, and drafting standards.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Survey Drafting Experience: Direct, practical experience working as a CAD Technician within a Land Surveying firm or department.

  • Software Proficiency: Hands-on mastery of survey-specific CAD workflows in AutoCAD Civil 3D (Survey Module) or Carlson Survey.

  • Survey Knowledge Base: Strong understanding of land surveying terminology, boundary location principles, legal descriptions, coordinate systems (State Plane/Datums), and field data collection methodology.

  • Plan & Document Reading: Proven ability to read and interpret deeds, title insurance commitments, recorded maps, easement instruments, and civil construction plans.

  • Detail-Oriented: Rigorous commitment to mathematical accuracy, neatness, line-weight hierarchy, and precise drafting standards.

  • Compensation is competitive and directly commensurate with survey industry experience and CAD proficiency.
