Remote Surveyor – Nationwide Opportunity – Drive Precision Mapping From Anywhere

Join a forward‑thinking geospatial team that values flexibility as much as accuracy. As a Remote Surveyor, you’ll leverage cutting‑edge GPS, LiDAR, and drone technology to deliver high‑resolution data for infrastructure, energy, and environmental projects across the United States.

About the Role

We are seeking a detail‑oriented Surveyor to execute field‑level data collection, processing, and quality assurance entirely from a home office. You will collaborate with project managers, GIS analysts, and engineering leads to define survey scopes, plan flight paths, and validate deliverables against client specifications. This position offers the autonomy to schedule site visits, manage equipment logistics, and contribute to innovative mapping workflows without a daily commute.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute remote survey campaigns using GNSS receivers, total stations, and UAV platforms.
• Process raw field data in industry‑standard software (e.g., Trimble Business Center, Pix4D, ArcGIS).
• Perform quality control checks on point clouds, orthomosaics, and contour datasets.
• Prepare clear, concise survey reports and deliverable packages for clients and internal stakeholders.
• Maintain calibration logs, equipment inventories, and safety documentation for all hardware.
• Stay current with emerging geospatial technologies and recommend process improvements.

Requirements

Education & Certification

• Bachelor’s degree in Surveying, Geomatics, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
• Active Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license in at least one U.S. state (or eligibility for licensure by comity).
• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate for UAV operations.

Technical Skills

• Proficient with GNSS post‑processing (RTK/PPK) and total station workflows.
• Hands‑on experience with LiDAR and photogrammetry pipelines (e.g., LAStools, CloudCompare, Agisoft Metashape).
• Strong GIS capabilities in ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with CAD standards (AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation) for deliverable preparation.

Soft Skills & Work Style

• Self‑motivated with excellent time‑management; able to meet tight deadlines without direct supervision.
• Clear communicator for virtual meetings, technical documentation, and client presentations.
• Problem‑solver who can troubleshoot hardware, software, and data‑quality issues remotely.

Salary Range

Estimated annual compensation: $68,000 – $92,000 USD/year, commensurate with experience, licensure status, and geographic differential.

Benefits & Perks

• 100 % remote work with a generous home‑office stipend ($1,200 annually).
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans effective day one.
• 401(k) with 4 % company match and immediate vesting.
• Paid professional development budget ($2,500/year) for conferences, certifications, and advanced training.
• Flexible PTO policy plus 10 paid holidays.
• Equipment allowance for GNSS receivers, drones, and high‑performance laptops.
• Wellness program including virtual fitness classes and mental‑health resources.
