Professional Land Surveyor – Lead Projects from Field to Finish

Location: Within 1 hour of Fort Wayne, IN | Full-Time | On-Site Salary Range: $80,000 – $110,000, plus incentive-based profit sharing

This is your chance to join a highly respected, 30+ year-old design-build firm that surveys it, designs it, and builds it—all under one roof. As Northeast Indiana’s only total site development contractor, this team takes pride in delivering complete solutions and unmatched project continuity.

They’re seeking a Professional Land Surveyor who wants more than a desk job—someone who wants to own the process, collaborate across departments, and take part in building something real and lasting.

Why This Role?

  • Be a key player in projects from planning to construction

  • Enjoy the stability of a company with a 30+ year track record—and the growth of a team expanding its reach

  • Work alongside a tight-knit team of engineers, surveyors, and builders who take pride in precision and quality

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead field survey operations: boundary, topographic, ALTA/NSPS, and construction staking

  • Draft plats, prepare legal descriptions, and review survey deliverables

  • Coordinate closely with engineering and construction teams

  • Operate and manage GPS/robotic total station equipment

  • Ensure compliance with state standards and project specifications

What You Bring:

  • Active Indiana PLS license (or ability to obtain in the near term)

  • 5+ years of land surveying experience, including field and office work

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and modern survey technology

  • Strong understanding of property boundaries, legal documentation, and construction layout

  • Ability to lead crews, manage time effectively, and work collaboratively

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Salary: $80,000 – $110,000, based on experience and licensure

  • Incentive-based profit sharing

  • 401(k) plan with company match

  • Health, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability insurance

  • Paid time off (PTO) and holidays

  • Tuition reimbursement and continuing education support

  • On-the-job variety, autonomy, and a clear path for growth

This is more than a typical surveying role—this is a long-term career opportunity with real impact and real reward.
