Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) - Flexible Office or Remote

Spotlock

Lakewood, NJ • On-site, Remote

Full-time, Part-time

Re-posted 25 days ago

Job description

About the Opportunity:

A well-established Land Surveying and Civil Engineering firm based in Lakewood, NJ is seeking a Licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) to bring added depth, quality control, and leadership to their growing Survey Department. Whether you're a seasoned veteran looking to scale back hours while offering mentorship, or a rising leader ready to help drive a survey team forward—this role offers flexibility and a strong future.

What Makes This Unique:

  • Flexible Arrangement: Open to both in-office or remote work, with a schedule tailored to the candidate's availability—full-time or part-time
  • Impact-Focused Role: You'll play a central role in mentoring survey staff, checking in on field crews, reviewing deliverables, and ensuring adherence to standards and procedures.
  • Leadership Opportunity: You'll be helping guide a department that's stabilized its field operations and built a solid base of office support. Now, they're looking to take the next step—elevating quality, leadership, and accountability.

Responsibilities May Include (Based on Experience and Availability):

  • Serve as the in-house or on-call subject matter expert for survey-related questions and quality assurance.
  • Conduct field inspections and follow-ups with crews as needed to maintain standards.
  • Review and sign off on survey documents, plats, and legal descriptions.
  • Help implement or refine survey standards, QA/QC procedures, and documentation practices.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Active New Jersey PLS license.
  • Minimum 5–10 years of professional land surveying experience, ideally including some leadership or mentorship.
  • Comfortable working autonomously and contributing to a collaborative team environment.
  • Strong understanding of New Jersey land use, survey standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Interest in growing with a firm—or helping it grow toward a sustainable future.

Compensation & Schedule:

  • Flexible pay structure depending on your role—whether you're a full-time leader, part-time contributor, or semi-retired PLS looking to stay active.
  • This could be a 60-hour/week cornerstone role, or a lighter-touch advisory/QA role—they're willing to tailor the opportunity to the right person.

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a survey department within a company that values its people and understands that the right licensed surveyor can be the foundation for long-term success. Whether you're looking for your next challenge or a way to give back and mentor the next generation, they'd love to connect.
