How much do land surveyor jobs pay per year?
What Do Land Surveyors Do?
Land surveyors measure properties and plots of land to delineate boundaries of property lines and gather data on the shape and contour of the landscape. This information is essential for determining the location of buildings and roads, preventing or settling disputes over property lines, and contributing to the creation of maps. When assigned a project, land surveyors research the specific property, examining previous surveys, land records, and land titles that may exist for reference. They measure distances and angles between locations and utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to create accurate digital maps of an area. Land surveyors use these maps and reports to advise government agencies and businesses on where to build construction projects, such as homes, roads, and landfills.

What is the difference between Land Surveyor vs Civil Engineer?
| Aspect | Land Surveyor | Civil Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | State licensure, surveying certifications | Engineering degree, PE license |
| Work Environment | Outdoor fieldwork, surveying sites | Office and construction sites, design projects |
| Industry Usage | Real estate, construction, land development | Infrastructure, transportation, public works |
| Common Search Intent | Surveying roles, land measurement | Engineering design, project planning |
While both Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers work in construction and land development, Land Surveyors focus on measuring and mapping land boundaries, often working outdoors. Civil Engineers design and oversee infrastructure projects, primarily working in offices and on-site construction. Their credentials, work environments, and industry roles differ, but they often collaborate on land development projects.

The work environment and requirements described below are representative of those necessary for an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this role.
The Physical Demands of the Job: This is a physically demanding role on an active construction site. You must be able to work safely around heavy equipment and construction traffic. You must be able to frequently lift, carry, and move materials weighing up to 50 pounds alone, and use team-lifting techniques for anything heavier. Long periods of continual standing or walking are required, along with the ability to bend, climb, kneel, and reach. Good balance and dexterity are crucial, as you will be working safely at various heights and in tight spaces. You'll need visual acuity to operate equipment and spot hazards, and the ability to hear with or without assistance to understand instructions in noisy environments.
Your Work Environment on the Site: You'll regularly work outdoors and may be exposed to the elements-be it heat, cold, rain, snow, or wind. The work environment frequently involves exposure to moving mechanical equipment, high noise levels, dust, fumes, airborne particles, vibrations, and potential electrical hazards. Your safety is our number one priority, which is why you will be required to consistently wear all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and strictly follow Clark Construction's safety policies and procedures, and all applicable laws, at all locations.
Our High-Performing Culture: This is a demanding, high-performance environment. We are looking for candidates who are energized by challenge, thrive under pressure, and are prepared to do what it takes to achieve exceptional results. Success in this role requires significant commitment, including flexibility to work extended hours, especially during critical project phases or client deadlines.
A Drug Free Workplace: Clark promotes a drug free workplace. A pre-employment drug "fitness for duty" screening is required, and the company conducts random quarterly drug "fitness for duty" tests.
