Remote Land Surveyor – Residents of Texas – Shape the Future of Infrastructure from Home

“`html

Join a forward-thinking engineering firm as a Remote Land Surveyor where you will leverage advanced GIS and CAD technology to manage critical mapping projects. This is a high-impact role offering total geographic flexibility for qualified professionals based in Texas who excel in data analysis and boundary determination.

About the Role

Are you a licensed professional who is tired of the grueling commute and the physical toll of constant field-to-office transitions? We are redefining the surveying industry by integrating cutting-edge remote sensing and cloud-based data processing. In this role, you will act as the primary analytical engine for our land development projects, transforming raw field data into precise, actionable legal descriptions and plat maps.

As a Remote Land Surveyor, you won’t be planting stakes in the mud every day. Instead, you will be the strategic lead overseeing the digital reconstruction of land boundaries, performing complex calculations, and ensuring all projects comply with state and federal regulations. You will collaborate with field crews via real-time telemetry and high-resolution drone imagery to ensure pinpoint accuracy without ever leaving your home office.

Salary Range

$75,000 – $110,000 USD/year (Depending on experience and licensure level)

Key Responsibilities

Digital Data Analysis & Mapping

You will be responsible for processing raw data from GPS, Total Stations, and LiDAR scans. You will utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D and ArcGIS to create detailed topographic maps, boundary surveys, and subdivision plats that meet rigorous professional standards.

Regulatory Compliance & Certification

You will review and certify surveys to ensure they adhere to the Texas Board of Professional Land Surveying standards. This includes conducting thorough deed research, analyzing historical records, and resolving boundary discrepancies through meticulous legal analysis.

Remote Project Coordination

You will serve as the bridge between the field teams and the client. By utilizing project management software, you will coordinate survey schedules, review field notes for accuracy, and provide technical guidance to field technicians to ensure data collection is optimized for the final deliverable.

Requirements

• Licensure: Must hold a valid Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license in the state of Texas.
• Technical Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and modern GPS data processing software.
• Analytical Mindset: A proven track record of performing complex boundary calculations and interpreting legal descriptions with 100% accuracy.
• Remote Readiness: A dedicated home office setup with a high-performance workstation capable of handling heavy CAD rendering and stable high-speed internet.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in land surveying, with a strong portfolio of completed boundary or topographic projects.

Why This Role is Different

Most surveying roles demand 60% field time and 40% office time. We have flipped the script. By leveraging the latest in remote sensing technology, we allow our senior surveyors to focus on the high-value intellectual work—the analysis, the law, and the design—while our field crews handle the physical data acquisition. This means more time for your family, zero commute stress, and the ability to work in an environment where you are most productive.

Benefits & Perks

Work-Life Harmony

Enjoy a 100% remote work environment that respects your boundaries. We believe in output over hours, meaning as long as your projects are accurate and deadlines are met, your schedule is yours to manage.

Professional Growth

We provide an annual stipend for continuing education and professional certification renewals. Stay at the forefront of the industry with paid access to the latest GIS software training and remote sensing seminars.

Comprehensive Wellness

Our package includes premium health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company matching, and a generous paid time off (PTO) policy to ensure you stay refreshed and inspired.

Technical Stack

To succeed in this role, you will be working with a sophisticated toolset including AutoCAD Civil 3D, Trimble Business Center, Esri ArcGIS Pro, and Slack for seamless team communication. We provide the software licenses; you provide the expertise.
