Job Description

A dynamic structural engineering firm is hiring a Licensed Land Surveyor to step into a critical, senior-level role as a long-tenured survey lead prepares for retirement. This role is ideally based in the office, with a strong preference for candidates who can work onsite in Rancho Cordova. That said, remote arrangements may be considered for the right candidate. Candidates must reside in California, as an active California Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license is required for this position. This position is focused on technical surveying, mapping, and boundary resolution, not fieldwork. You’ll take ownership of complex survey deliverables, collaborate closely with field leadership, and serve as a steady technical anchor for a busy, private-development-driven practice. This role is built for a confident, self-sufficient California-licensed surveyor who can plug in immediately, take full ownership of office survey work, and operate with minimal hand-holding.

Salary Range: $140,000 – $160,000 / Year DOE

Licensed Land Surveyor Responsibilities:

  • Prepare and review property boundary, topographic, ALTA, right-of-way, and as-built surveys
  • Produce Final Maps, Parcel Maps, and Records of Survey
  • Perform aerial mapping control and GNSS post-processing (RTK and Static)
  • Process and analyze conventional and GNSS survey data
  • Resolve boundary and title matters independently
  • Develop proposal and exhibit maps in collaboration with field supervision
  • Support subdivision and commercial development projects
  • Ensure technical accuracy, compliance, and high professional standards across all deliverables

Licensed Land Surveyor Requirements:

  • Active California Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license
  • 5+ years of experience required; 10+ years strongly preferred
  • Deep experience in office-based surveying and mapping, not field roles
  • Proven expertise with boundaries, legal descriptions, and complex survey records
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D
  • Ability to work independently and confidently without extensive training
  • Strong communication skills and professional client presence

Benefits:

  • Discretionary bonus potential
  • 100% employer-paid medical insurance for employees
  • Dental insurance coverage
  • Accrued PTO that increases with tenure
  • 40 hours of paid sick time
  • Paid holidays
  • Flexible work hours within a standard 40-hour week
  • Extremely stable firm with long employee tenure and low turnover
  • Long-term growth potential, including a future VP-level path

This is a rare opportunity to step into a stable, respected firm, take over a well-established role, and build long-term security while maintaining real work-life balance. Apply now! #LI-CM1
