  • Customer Consultation & Quoting: Serve as the primary point of contact for clients; scope project requirements and deliver accurate cost estimates and timelines.
  • Outsourced Vendor Management: Distribute research tasks to due diligence partners and assign drafting projects to remote teams, ensuring all vendors have the necessary field data and client specs.
  • QA/QC Oversight: Utilize previous drafting experience to rigorously review and redline deliverables from outsourced teams, ensuring they meet company standards and local regulations before client delivery.
  • Technical Liaison: Translate complex client requests into clear instructions for drafting teams and resolve any technical discrepancies between field notes and office research.
  • Schedule & Budget Tracking: Monitor the progress of all active survey task orders, tracking vendor invoices and ensuring project margins remain healthy.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or associate degree in surveying, geomatics, or a related field (preferred).
  • Drafting Background: Must have significant experience in CAD-based survey production (AutoCAD Civil 3D/Carlson) to effectively audit outsourced work and provide technical guidance.
  • Project Management: 1-5+ years in a coordination or management role within the land surveying industry.
  • Communication Skills: Proven ability to manage client expectations and maintain professional relationships with multiple external vendors.
  • Technical Fluency: Ability to analyze legal descriptions, title reports, and topographic data provided by outsourced due diligence teams.
  • Detail-oriented and able to work independently or as part of a team.

Compensation and Benefits:
  • Pay: $20.00 - $35.00 per hour, depending on experience (DOE)
  • After 60 days: Medical, Vision, Dental, and Company-paid basic life insurance. Accident, critical illness, hospital, term and whole life offered on a voluntary basis.
  • After 90 days: 401(k) savings program, Paid Time Off.
  • After 6 months: responsible charge hour accrual opportunities.
