Job description
Land Surveyor | RLS w/Drone License – Phoenix, AZ (Full-Time)
Cooper Aerial Surveys is an Arizona-based aerial mapping and land surveying firm seeking an experienced Registered Land Surveyor (RLS) with drone/UAS experience to join our Phoenix team. This is a full-time, in-office/field position for someone who knows their way around real projects, can operate independently, and takes pride in doing things right.
This role involves fieldwork and project support on ALTA, Topographic, Construction Staking, Boundary, and aerial mapping projects. The ideal candidate is comfortable both in the field and around technology — including drone operations, survey equipment, and coordination with project teams. You’ll often work independently but also collaborate with crews, pilots, CAD staff, and clients. We’re looking for someone reliable, professional, and easy to work with — competence and attitude both matter here.
Requirements
- Active Arizona Registered Land Surveyor (RLS) license preferred (or ability to obtain Arizona reciprocity)
- FAA Part 107 Drone License required
- 5+ years of land surveying field experience
- 3+ years flying Drones for survey work
- Experience with drone/UAS data collection and mission planning
- Ability to communicate clearly with superintendents, contractors, clients, and project teams
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D (required)
- Trimble Business Center experience is a plus
- Strong understanding of land surveying techniques, principles, boundary law, and survey standards
- Experience operating GPS, robotic total stations, and related survey equipment
- Proven work history, strong work ethic, and team-first mindset
- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage your own work
- Having your own equipment is a plus (if compatible with our resources)
Equipment & Training
Cooper Aerial uses Trimble robotic and GPS equipment along with drone/UAS platforms for aerial mapping and data collection. Experience with Trimble workflows, photogrammetry, LiDAR, or aerial mapping is a plus, but we’re willing to train the right person with a strong surveying background and willingness to learn.
Company Description
Cooper Aerial Surveys Co has been setting the standard in mapping and land surveying since 1966. We’re a client-focused firm known for delivering accurate, high-quality work on complex projects—and doing it consistently. Our team of 40+ professionals across multiple locations nationwide includes some of the most skilled and experienced people in the aerial mapping and survey industry.
What truly sets Cooper Aerial apart is our team. We hire smart, capable people and trust them to do great work. That experience shows up in our deliverables, which are recognized for their quality, reliability, and attention to detail. We serve clients worldwide and have built our reputation on excellence, strong relationships, and staying ahead of the curve as mapping technology continues to evolve.
If you care about quality and want to be part of a team known for its reputation and results, you’ll fit in at Cooper Aerial.
