As a Topo, your daily responsibilities typically include conducting field surveys, collecting geospatial data using modern surveying equipment, and processing this data to create accurate maps and site plans. You’ll often work closely with engineers, architects, and construction teams to ensure your measurements align with project requirements. Office time usually involves processing data, generating reports, and maintaining thorough records. Collaboration and clear communication are crucial, especially when sharing findings or addressing site-specific challenges. The role offers a balance between outdoor fieldwork and technical office tasks, providing variety throughout the workweek.
To excel as a Topo (Topographer), you require a solid background in land surveying, cartography, and geographic information systems (GIS), generally with a degree or technical certification in surveying or geospatial sciences. Mastery of surveying equipment like total stations, GPS units, and specialized mapping software such as AutoCAD Civil 3D is essential, along with applicable licensure where required. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills help in accurately interpreting data, preparing clear reports, and coordinating with engineers or project managers. These competencies are crucial to ensure precise land measurements and successful collaboration on construction, environmental, or land development projects.

Johnston’s Surveying is looking for a Survey CAD Technician for our Kissimmee office. This is a drafting seat, not entry-level — we need someone who’s already worked survey data in Civil 3D and knows the difference between a boundary drawing and a topo.
What you’ll be doing:
• Processing field data into base maps, boundary surveys, topographic surveys, and ALTA/NSPS surveys
• Building and editing drawings in AutoCAD Civil 3D (Carlson experience a plus)
• Working directly with field crews and project surveyors to resolve data issues before they become drawing problems
• Managing multiple projects at different stages at once — this isn’t a one-drawing-at-a-time job
What you need:
• 2+ years CAD experience specific to land surveying (not just general drafting)
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D — Carlson Survey is a plus, not a requirement
• Comfortable reading and applying legal descriptions, plats, and deed research
• Central Florida survey experience preferred — you know the counties, you know the quirks
What we offer:
• Full-time, in-office, Kissimmee HQ
• Established firm, steady project pipeline, no bench time between jobs
Johnston’s Surveying has been doing land surveying in Central Florida for decades. We’re growing and this seat is open because the work is there, not because someone just quit.
