Job Description

About the Firm

Join a fast-growing, tech-forward surveying team based in Conshohocken, PA that’s redefining how fieldwork and office production work together. With deep expertise in high-end residential development and cutting-edge drone and LiDAR workflows, this firm is positioned at the intersection of tradition and innovation. They are a Leica and Civil 3D shop, with a strong internal team of licensed surveyors, CAD technicians, and drone pilots.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Survey Party Chief who can take ownership of field operations—particularly construction stakeout—during the busy summer season and beyond. You’ll play a critical role in delivering high-quality boundary, topo, and layout surveys for some of the most impressive residential sites in the region.

If you enjoy managing field crews, working on challenging custom home projects, and being part of a collaborative team that values both tech and field experience—this is a strong match.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead field surveys for large-scale residential construction stakeout projects (homes in the $5M–$15M range; sites often 100k+ sq ft)
  • Perform boundary and topographic surveys with accuracy and attention to detail
  • Collaborate with licensed surveyors and drafters to ensure seamless office-to-field workflows
  • Utilize Leica Captivate field software and Civil 3D for data collection and integration
  • Help guide junior field staff and contribute to a high-performing field operation
  • Coordinate with office staff and drone team for evolving deliverables, including aerial mapping and LiDAR post-processing

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of field survey experience, including at least 2+ years as a Party Chief
  • Strong construction stakeout experience required (residential or commercial)
  • Proficiency with Leica Total Stations, GPS, and Captivate software
  • Working knowledge of Civil 3D preferred (or willingness to learn office workflows)
  • Comfortable leading field efforts on high-value residential projects
  • Ability to read and interpret construction plans, perform calculations, and troubleshoot in the field
  • Team-first mindset, clear communication, and the ability to mentor less-experienced field staff

Bonus Skills

  • Experience with drone operations, aerial photogrammetry, or LiDAR workflows
  • Exposure to DJI Terra or Leica’s drone mapping tools
  • Interest in future transition to hybrid field/office role

What’s in It for You

  • Work alongside 2 PLSs and a team that values professional development and career growth
  • Access to advanced technology (Leica/Civil 3D/DJI)
  • Supportive office with a culture of collaboration between field, CAD, and licensed staff
  • Competitive compensation, overtime opportunities, and potential for future advancement
