    About the Opportunity:

    Our Charlotte office is growing quickly to meet demand in the land development space, and we're looking to bring on a Junior Survey Project Manager who’s ready to take the next step in their career. This role is perfect for someone who has several years of experience in the field and/or office, has begun managing projects, and is either actively pursuing or nearing their Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license.

    You’ll work under the guidance of a senior PLS and support a mix of private-sector land development projects — including residential subdivisions, commercial sites, and work for regional homebuilders.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Coordinate field and office operations for ALTA/NSPS surveys, boundary and topographic surveys, plats, and construction stakeout
    • Act as a liaison between survey crews, CAD staff, and clients to ensure project milestones are met
    • Manage multiple projects with a focus on scheduling, quality control, and budget awareness
    • Support deed and utility research, QA/QC, and mapping deliverables
    • Participate in client meetings and gain exposure to business development processes
    • Work alongside leadership toward obtaining your PLS license

    What We’re Looking For:

    • 3–6 years of experience in land surveying, preferably with exposure to land development projects
    • Project coordination or project management experience within a survey or civil engineering firm
    • Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D; familiarity with Trimble Business Center or similar software is a plus
    • FS certification completed (or in progress); active pursuit of PLS licensure is highly valued
    • Strong communication skills and an interest in growing into a leadership role

    Compensation & Benefits:

    • Competitive pay range of $30–$40/hour, with flexibility for candidates closer to licensure
    • Supportive team culture focused on mentorship and professional growth
    • Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO
    • Long-term opportunity with room for advancement in a growing office
