Job description

HDL Engineering Consultants, LLC (HDL) is a leader in surveying, design, and construction services across Alaska. With multiple offices statewide, we're looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Survey Technician (Intern) to join our surveying and mapping team for the summer season. This internship is designed for students enrolled in an accredited geomatics program, with preference given to those attending an Alaska-based program, though all students are encouraged to apply-especially if you're interested in launching your career in Alaska after graduation.
As an intern at HDL, you'll work alongside experienced Professional Land Surveyors and Certified Federal Surveyors, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of field and office tasks. You'll be part of real projects that shape Alaska's communities while receiving mentorship from some of the best surveyors in the state.
This is a great opportunity to build your skills, get real-world experience, and explore a future with HDL.
Requirements:
  • Valid Alaska Driver's License and a clean driving record
  • Enrolled as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th-year student in a geomatics/surveying program (University of Alaska preferred)
  • Ability and willingness to travel within Alaska
  • Physically fit and capable of working safely and efficiently in a variety of Alaskan terrains.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Eager to learn all aspects of surveying, including control, topographic, boundary, aerial (drone), and right-of-way surveying
  • Looking for hands-on experience applying classroom knowledge in a real-world setting
  • Interested in building a long-term career-we hope interns will return each summer, gaining experience with HDL and transitioning to full-time employment after graduation

Responsibilities:
  • Work as a survey technician on a two-person field survey crew
  • Gain hands-on experience primarily in the field, with some office work contributing to control, boundary, subdivision, topographic & design surveys, as well as aerial mapping control and aeronautical surveys
  • Operate survey instruments with precision, including GPS equipment, total stations, and digital levels
  • Record accurate field notes and sketches to document survey data
  • Identify and understand sources of measurement errors to ensure quality results
  • Perform field calculations and check data under the guidance of the party chief
  • Use survey programs and AutoCAD for data reduction, field note processing, calculations, and staking computations
  • Support the project surveyor with office tasks, including research, data reduction, equipment organization, and scanning field notes

Work Environment:
This position includes a mix of field and office work, with much of the summer spent on out-of-town projects across Alaska.
Field Work:
  • Travel to various project sites, typically for one to two weeks at a time
  • Work 10 to 12 hours per day, 7 days per week while on out-of-town assignments
  • In-town projects typically run 8 to 10 hours per day, 5 days per week
  • Operate surveying equipment, including GPS receivers/controllers and total stations
  • Walk long distances, carry survey equipment, and occasionally stand for extended periods at a survey instrument
  • Work in remote locations and diverse terrains, often in inclement weather
  • Lift equipment up to 60 pounds, use tools like a Pionjar or Cobra Combi Breaker/Drill, and follow all safety protocols

Office Work:
  • Assist with data processing, research, and survey documentation
  • Work with AutoCAD and other survey software
  • Use standard office equipment, including computers, phones, and photocopiers

At HDL, safety is a priority-all field employees are required to wear survey safety vests, follow daily safety briefings, and adhere to strict protocols. This role is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience, see different parts of Alaska, and develop real-world surveying skills in a supportive and professional environment.
What You Can Expect at HDL:
  • A workplace where work is rewarding and fun, with flexibility that supports your lifestyle
  • A family-friendly environment that prioritizes your well-being and work-life balance
  • A culture built on responsibility, engagement, and a drive to exceed expectations

Job Location
HDL is filling this position in either the Anchorage or Palmer office.
HDL is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
