Job description

We are growing our Survey team in Kansas City and looking for a Team Leader to help lead what's next.

This role is for someone who is already leading in some capacity - running crews, guiding field work, helping solve problems - and is ready to take a bigger step. Not just doing the work, but helping shape how it's delivered and how the team grows.

What you'll be doing:

You'll play a key role in delivering survey work from field to finish, supporting crews, staying close to projects, and helping ensure things run smoothly across the board.

Along the way, you'll:

  • Lead and support survey crews in the field and office

  • Stay close to project performance (scope, schedule, budget)

  • Work alongside engineers and clients to keep projects moving

  • Help mentor and develop team members

  • Contribute to how the team operates and grows in Kansas City

  • Be involved in a mix of field work, coordination, and problem-solving

What we're looking for:
  • Experience leading survey crews or coordinating field work

  • A few years of experience in land surveying (crew chief, party chief, or similar)

  • PLS is a plus, but not required - we'll support you if it's a goal

  • Comfort working across field and office environments

  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills

  • A sense of ownership: you care about the work, your team, and doing things the right way

Why OWN

We're a 100% employee-owned firm, which shows up in how people approach their work and support each other. In practice, that means:

  • Real ownership. Your work directly contributes to the company's success and your future.

  • Trust and autonomy. You're empowered to make decisions without unnecessary layers.

  • Growth in Kansas City. This role helps shape where we're going-not just maintain what exists.

  • A path forward. Whether it's leadership or licensure, we'll help you get there.

  • Strong, low-ego teams. People who support each other and take pride in doing good work.

  • Flexibility that's real. We treat you like a professional and a person.

And we like to have fun along the way!

About OWN

OWN, Inc. provides civil engineering, land surveying, and field services for private development and public infrastructure clients across Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and beyond.

We're built on employee ownership and driven by people who care about the work, each other, and the communities we're part of.
