Description
Senior Survey Technician - Buffalo, NY
Lead Buffalo-area senior survey production supporting Western New York infrastructure, Erie and Niagara County boundary and topographic mapping, transportation survey, construction support, LiDAR deliverables, and ROW/easement mapping across regional projects.
Turn complex field data into accurate, client-ready survey deliverables while mentoring technicians, strengthening QA/QC, supporting Project Surveyors, and advancing consistent survey production standards across multidisciplinary infrastructure and site development work.
What You'll Do
  • Plan, coordinate, and execute complex survey production tasks, including multi-discipline infrastructure, boundary retracements, topographic surveys, LiDAR data integration, and digital terrain modeling.
  • Lead QA/QC reviews for survey base maps and deliverables prepared by Survey Technicians, serving as a trusted technical resource for accuracy, consistency, and schedule performance.
  • Develop high-quality survey base mapping, DTMs, Right-of-Way plans, easement mapping, acquisition mapping, and 3D deliverables from field-collected survey, terrestrial scanning, and drone-mounted LiDAR data.
  • Support firmwide capabilities in AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, and OpenRoads, including technical guidance, training support, survey software workflows, and field equipment coordination.
  • Mentor survey technicians and support staff while collaborating with Project Surveyors, field crews, engineers, GIS, planning, and project delivery teams to solve technical issues and keep work moving.

Requirements
What We're Looking For
  • Associate's degree in Surveying, Geomatics, Civil Engineering Technology, or related field preferred, or equivalent experience.
  • 5-10 years of progressive land surveying, survey CAD, survey production, mapping, or survey technician experience preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of land surveying mathematical principles, terminology, field methods, survey data processing, boundary/topographic survey workflows, and QA/QC expectations.
  • Extensive experience with AutoCAD Civil 3D and MicroStation/OpenRoads required; experience with LiDAR, terrestrial laser scanning, drone/UAV data, Leica systems, or DOT/agency standards preferred.
  • Professional ownership, critical thinking, problem-solving, adaptability, collaboration, integrity, respect, active listening, sound judgment, curiosity, and continuous-improvement mindset.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience preparing survey base maps, DTMs, ROW plans, easement/acquisition mapping, transportation survey deliverables, and civil/site survey support documents.
  • Ability to review, refine, and troubleshoot survey data from field crews, scanning, GPS, total station, LiDAR, and multidisciplinary project sources.
  • Comfortable mentoring technicians, supporting onboarding, sharing best practices, and helping standardize survey production workflows across projects and offices.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to coordinate with Project Surveyors, field crews, engineers, GIS staff, clients, and internal project teams.

Why Join Fisher
  • Step into a senior technical role where your survey expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your work directly shapes successful project outcomes.
  • Work on meaningful infrastructure, transportation, civil/site, GIS, planning, and community-shaping projects while growing as a trusted survey production leader.
  • Join a collaborative, flexible culture built on mentorship, accessible leadership, ownership, professional development, continuous learning, and work-life balance.

Compensation + Benefits
  • Hourly range: $33-$39.42/hr; actual compensation varies based on experience, qualifications, education, and other factors and excludes the value of benefits.
  • Competitive benefits include medical, dental, vision, 401(k), company-paid life and disability insurance, PTO, paid holidays, and supplemental benefits.
  • Hybrid work schedule, professional development reimbursement, shareholders program, tuition assistance, strong work-life balance, and employee groups focused on community, inclusion, and employee voice.
