    Who You Are:

    To strengthen our capabilities and reduce our reliance on third-party surveying firms, we are expanding our in-house surveying services. We are seeking an experienced Professional Licensed Surveyor (PLS) to lead this initiative, ensuring compliance with state regulations while helping our team deliver more licensed surveyor-certified work internally.

    Key Responsibilities:

    Expand In-House Surveying Capabilities:

    - Support our team's transition away from outsourcing by developing in-house licensed surveying services.

     

    - Provide professional certification, review, and approval of surveying and mapping deliverables.

     

    - Help our team obtain and maintain surveying licenses in multiple states where we operate.

    Professional Surveying & Compliance:

    - Serve as the licensed surveyor of record in states where we offer professional surveying services.

     

    - Ensure regulatory compliance with state and federal land surveying laws.

     

    - Oversee boundary, topographic, and volumetric surveys for mining, landfill, and utility projects.

    Geospatial Data Validation & Integration:

    - Support UAV-based LiDAR and photogrammetry processing, ensuring accuracy for stockpile measurement, terrain modeling, and volumetric calculations.

     

    - Develop workflows for integrating ground control points (GCPs), RTK/PPK corrections, and GPS survey data into our deliverables.

     

    - Perform QA/QC on drone and mobile mapping datasets to ensure survey-grade accuracy.

    Field Surveying & Remote Sensing Support:

    - Conduct ground-based and UAV-assisted survey operations, including boundary surveys, topographic mapping, and site inspections.

     

    - Assist in developing methodologies for subsurface mines, landfill topography monitoring, and utility inspections.

     

    - Work with engineering and GIS teams to enhance reality capture workflows for site modeling.

    Client & Regulatory Engagement:

    - Interface with clients to understand project needs and expand our licensed surveyor services.

     

    - Prepare and certify legal descriptions, boundary maps, and as-built surveys.

     

    - Stay up to date with industry trends and grow our licensing footprint.

    Qualifications:

    + Active Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license in at least 40 U.S. states REQUIRED.

    + Possess or ability to obtain reciprocal licenses in states where we operates.

    + 5+ years of experience in land surveying, geomatics, or geospatial engineering.

    + Strong knowledge of LiDAR, photogrammetry, RTK/PPK GPS, and UAV-based surveying methodologies.

    + Proficiency with survey software (e.g., Trimble Business Center, Leica Infinity, Pix4D, Global Mapper, QGIS, AutoCAD Civil 3D).

    + Experience in mining, solid waste, or utility surveying is a plus.

     

    Why Join Us?

     

    + Be a key part of our expansion into in-house licensed surveying services.

    + Work with a team of experts in drone-based mapping, methane detection, and geospatial data analytics.

    + Help shape the future of UAV-based surveying and professional geospatial services.

    + Opportunity to work in diverse industries, including mining, solid waste, and utilities.

    + Competitive salary, benefits, and opportunities for professional development.
