Job Summary
DDS is urgently seeking a Project Surveyor for a primarily office-based role in West Henrietta, NY (preferred), Southborough, MA, or Southpointe, PA, with occasional field work.

You'll process survey data, draft deliverables, and prepare legal descriptions using advanced applications like Leica Register 360, Pix4D, Trimble Business Center, Carlson, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Map 3D, and MicroStation.
Reporting to the Survey Manager (MA/PA) or Senior Project Surveyor (NY), you'll collaborate with licensed surveyors, field crews, CAD drafters, professional engineers, and clients. A Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license is preferred but not required; strong technical skills and extensive boundary experience are essential. A college degree in surveying is preferred but not mandatory.
Key Responsibilities
  • Process survey data using Trimble Business Center and Carlson for accurate boundary, topographic, and utility survey deliverables.
  • Perform point cloud processing with Leica Register 360 for 3D modeling and CAD integration.
  • Conduct sUAV aerial photogrammetry using Pix4D to produce orthomosaics, digital surface models, and topographic data.
  • Draft survey maps, certified plats, and exhibits using AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Map 3D, and/or MicroStation, adhering to client and regulatory standards.
  • Prepare precise legal descriptions, including metes and bounds and ALTA survey descriptions, for boundary surveys and easements.
  • Conduct deed research, locate and analyze monuments, and prepare certified boundary plats for complex projects.
  • Collaborate with field survey crews to ensure data accuracy, occasionally supporting field tasks (e.g., quality control, site verification).
  • Work with professional engineers from DDS's Land Development and Energy Services Groups to integrate survey data into infrastructure projects.
  • Engage with clients to clarify project requirements and deliver high-quality deliverables on time.
  • Maintain accurate project documentation and ensure compliance with DDS quality standards.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Required
  • 5-10 years of land surveying experience, with strong expertise in boundary surveys (e.g., deed research, monumentation, certified plats).
  • Proficiency in survey data processing with Trimble Business Center and Carlson.
  • Experience with point cloud processing (Leica Register 360) and sUAV aerial photogrammetry (Pix4D).
  • Advanced CAD drafting skills with AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Map 3D, and/or MicroStation.
  • Ability to write accurate metes and bounds and ALTA survey legal descriptions.
  • Knowledge of land surveying principles and deliverables (e.g., boundary, topographic, ALTA, utility surveys).
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently or collaboratively.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record for occasional field work.

Preferred
  • Associate or bachelor's degree in surveying, geomatics, or related field.
  • Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license or Surveyor-in-Training (SIT) certification.
  • Certified Survey Technician (CST) or FAA Part 107 sUAV certification.
  • Experience with additional survey types (e.g., utility designation, construction stakeout, right-of-way).
  • Familiarity with GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS) for spatial data integration.
