  • Layout & Staking: Read and interpret construction plans, blueprints, and digital design files to accurately establish field layout stakes, offsets, and cut/fill markings.
  • Field Computations: Perform on-the-spot coordinate geometry calculations and check measurements using data collectors to verify precision before leaving the job site.
  • Data Management: Upload and download field data files, manage digital line work, and maintain comprehensive, professional field notes and sketches.
  • Crew Support & Mentorship: Guide entry-level rodpersons on proper procedures, site safety, and equipment care; step in as acting Crew Chief when necessary.
  • Site Recovery: Search for and successfully recover historical survey monuments, property corners, and section markers using metal detectors, shovels, and reference maps.

  • Technical Skills: Proven proficiency with major surveying hardware and data collection software (e.g., Trimble Access, Leica Captivate, Topcon, or Carlson).
  • Plan Reading: Demonstrated ability to read and interpret engineering plans, subdivision plats, legal descriptions, and construction blueprints.
  • Physical Stamina: Ability to hike, stand, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs over rugged, steep, or densely wooded terrain for full shifts.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
