As our Land Survey Technician, you will work on a wide range of land surveying projects to strengthen communities through infrastructure improvements. To thrive in this job, you must be motivated and ready to support our clients on a wide range of civil engineering projects.
A land survey technician is an entry level position to the land surveying profession. The work environment is outdoors and year-round. Work sites for Eng., Inc. may be anywhere in the state of Michigan, but primarily in Mid and West Michigan, and vary daily. Occasionally the work may be remote and complex enough to involve an overnight stay.
On a typical day you will work as a member of a field survey team under the direction of a survey team leader. The team may be
· Mapping existing site features for the development of civil engineering designs
· Staking layout of construction projects
· Mapping and layout of site boundaries
· Marking easement limits and rights of way
· Mapping the as-constructed state of a project
The survey technician will be trained on the state-of-the-practice surveying equipment used to perform the work, and may have opportunities to learn and perform some of the office tasks necessary to prepare and conduct the field surveys.
Work is frequently performed in public settings and on private property; therefore, maintaining a professional appearance and demeanor is important. The position involves outdoor field work and requires the ability to perform physically demanding tasks such as walking in uneven terrain, carrying equipment, and working in varying weather conditions. Attention to work site safety is essential, as field activities are often conducted in or along active roadways and construction sites.
The minimum education requirement is a high school degree or equivalent.
A Certified Survey Technician (CST) Level 1 or higher, or Associates Degree in either Land Surveying or Civil Engineering Technology, is a plus.
