Job Description

Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets.

We are more than 34,000 people, in over 30 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world’s most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Role description:

We are seeking an experienced Registered Professional Surveyor / Survey Manager to lead and support surveying operations in Ohio. This position will be responsible for the technical oversight and delivery of surveying services, management and coordination of field crews, preparation of proposals and contracts, and development of client relationships.

The ideal candidate will be an actively licensed Professional Surveyor (PS) in Ohio with strong experience in boundary, ALTA/NSPS Land Title, topographic, and construction surveying. The successful candidate should bring a combination of technical surveying expertise, project management experience, and the ability to develop scopes, fees, and proposals for surveying assignments.

Role accountabilities:

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Surveying, Geomatics, Surveying Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Active Professional Surveyor (PS) license in the State of Ohio.
  • 8+ years of progressive surveying experience, with experience managing projects and field operations preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience performing and/or overseeing:

o Boundary surveys

o ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

o Topographic and existing-conditions surveys

o Construction layout and construction surveying

  • Thorough understanding of Ohio boundary, subdivision, property, and surveying requirements.
  • Experience reviewing deeds, plats, easements, rights-of-way, title information, and other property records used in boundary determination.
  • Experience supervising, coordinating, and scheduling survey field crews.
  • Experience preparing surveying scopes of work, proposals, fee estimates, and contracts.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple surveying projects, schedules, budgets, and deliverables concurrently.
  • Proficiency with modern surveying equipment and survey-processing/design software.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate effectively with clients, project managers, engineers, field personnel, and public agencies.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Serve as the Professional Surveyor responsible for surveying projects in Ohio, including appropriate technical review and professional oversight.
  • Manage surveying projects from initial scope development through field investigation, data processing, quality review, and final deliverables.
  • Plan and coordinate boundary, ALTA/NSPS, topographic, construction, and other land surveying assignments.
  • Supervise and coordinate field crews, including workload planning, scheduling, field instructions, and resolution of field issues.
  • Review survey calculations, research, field information, plats, legal descriptions, and other surveying deliverables for completeness and technical accuracy.
  • Perform and oversee boundary research and resolution using deeds, plats, easements, rights-of-way, monumentation, field evidence, and applicable Ohio requirements.
  • Prepare and review proposals, scopes of work, labor estimates, project budgets, and contract documents for surveying services.
  • Coordinate surveying requirements with civil engineering, site development, transportation, utility, architectural, and construction teams.
  • Manage project budgets and schedules and communicate changes in scope, schedule, or level of effort to project leadership and clients.
  • Maintain appropriate QA/QC procedures for surveying deliverables.
  • Support client development, proposal pursuits, and identification of new surveying opportunities.
  • Maintain awareness of current surveying technology, equipment, software, professional standards, and applicable state requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of surveying experience, particularly in a consulting environment.
  • Previous experience serving as a Survey Manager, Survey Project Manager, or Survey Department Lead.
  • Experience supporting industrial, commercial, infrastructure, utility, transportation, or large-scale site-development projects.
  • Experience developing survey fee estimates and staffing plans for multidiscipline engineering projects.
  • Experience coordinating subcontracted surveying services when additional resources or specialized services are required.
  • Familiarity with GNSS/GPS, robotic total stations, digital levels, data collectors, and related modern survey technologies.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D and commonly used survey data-processing and field software.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and maintain client relationships and contribute to business development.

Success in This Role

The successful candidate will be capable of taking ownership of the Ohio surveying practice from both a technical and operational perspective. This individual should be comfortable moving between technical survey review, field-crew coordination, project management, proposal development, and client interaction.

They should also be able to work closely with civil and site-development teams to establish surveying approaches that are appropriate for complex projects, particularly large industrial and development sites where boundary, ALTA/NSPS, topographic, easement, right-of-way, and construction survey requirements frequently overlap.
