Job Description

Strong communities do not just happen. They are thoughtfully planned and future-ready. Our surveying and geomatics professionals provide the accurate spatial data, boundary expertise, and practical field solutions that support transportation, land development, utilities, public works, and resilient communities. Join a team that is committed to delivering work safely, accurately, efficiently, and collaboratively.

Your Opportunity

Stantec is seeking an experienced, licensed Survey Manager to lead and grow our surveying practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is a visible people, project, technical, and business leadership role. You will provide responsible charge for professional survey work; direct field and office operations; develop staff; manage project delivery and financial performance; and build trusted relationships with public and private sector clients. You will partner with multidisciplinary teams across Stantec to deliver integrated surveying and mapping solutions throughout New Mexico and the broader region.

The successful candidate will combine strong technical judgment with hands-on operational leadership. You will anticipate staffing and equipment needs, translate client requirements into proposals and executable work plans, guide assignments from initiation through final delivery, and create an environment in which team members are accountable, supported, and able to grow.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Lead boundary, topographic, ALTA/NSPS land title, right-of-way, control, construction staking, platting, and related surveying assignments for infrastructure and land development projects.
  • Provide responsible charge, sign and seal professional survey documents, and ensure deliverables comply with applicable New Mexico laws, standards of practice, contracts, and Stantec quality requirements.
  • Direct survey projects from initiation through delivery, including scope, work planning, schedules, budgets, staffing, risk, change management, invoicing support, and financial performance.
  • Lead the day-to-day activities of field crews and office staff by assigning work, communicating project requirements, coordinating schedules, resolving constraints, and reviewing work products for accuracy and completeness.
  • Plan and balance workloads across multiple active projects; forecast resource needs; coordinate staff sharing; and make timely adjustments to maintain commitments to clients and project teams.
  • Review field data, measurements, calculations, title information, record research, boundary resolutions, legal descriptions, plats, maps, reports, and final deliverables.
  • Establish clear expectations and performance goals; mentor and coach staff; support licensure and technical development; provide timely feedback; and help build succession and leadership capacity within the team.
  • Promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, inclusion, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across field and office operations.
  • Champion safety by identifying hazards, planning work appropriately, reinforcing safe work practices, and ensuring compliance with company procedures and project-specific requirements.
  • Oversee readiness, maintenance, repair, calibration, and effective use of survey equipment, vehicles, software, and other operational resources.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor and primary point of contact for clients on technical and project matters; communicate proactively; manage expectations; and resolve issues in a practical, professional manner.
  • Support growth of the New Mexico survey practice through client relationship management, capture planning, proposal development, fee development, interviews, strategic pursuits, and identification of new opportunities.
  • Collaborate with engineers, planners, environmental professionals, project managers, and technical specialists to integrate survey services into broader project delivery.
  • Advance modern survey technologies, standardized workflows, and quality-control practices that improve safety, consistency, productivity, and value for clients.
  • Perform occasional field work or project-site visits as needed and undertake other responsibilities consistent with the role.

  • Current Professional Surveyor licensure in New Mexico, or the ability to obtain New Mexico licensure within six months of hire.
  • Advanced knowledge of New Mexico survey laws, standards, boundary principles, research methods, surveying procedures, occupational hazards, and safety practices.
  • Demonstrated success leading field and office teams, managing competing priorities, and delivering accurate work within scope, schedule, and budget commitments.
  • Strong working knowledge of field instrumentation, GNSS, robotic total stations, data collectors, survey processing software, and AutoCAD Civil 3D or comparable production platforms.
  • Ability to evaluate complex boundary, technical, operational, and project-delivery issues using sound professional judgment, creativity, and practical innovation.
  • Strong client-service, relationship-building, proposal, presentation, verbal communication, and technical writing skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop others, deliver constructive feedback, delegate effectively, and create accountability while maintaining a collaborative leadership style.

  • Experience with transportation, public infrastructure, utilities, land development, or municipal projects in New Mexico or the Southwest is preferred.
