Remote Surveyor – Texas – Shape the Future of Land Development

Join a dynamic geospatial team as a Remote Surveyor, where you’ll leverage cutting‑edge technology to collect, analyze, and interpret land data from anywhere in Texas. This role offers competitive pay, flexible hours, and the chance to contribute to infrastructure projects that drive community growth.

About the Role

As a Remote Surveyor, you will be responsible for conducting precise land measurements, preparing detailed survey reports, and collaborating with engineers, architects, and project managers to support construction, utilities, and land‑development initiatives. You will use GPS, GIS, drones, and specialized software to deliver accurate spatial information that informs critical decisions. The position is fully remote, allowing you to work from any location within Texas while staying connected to a collaborative, multidisciplinary team through virtual meetings and cloud‑based platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform boundary, topographic, and construction surveys using total stations, GNSS receivers, and drone‑based photogrammetry.
• Process field data in AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, or similar platforms to produce plats, maps, and 3D models that meet client specifications.
• Verify accuracy of measurements, adjust for systematic errors, and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
• Prepare clear, concise survey documentation and present findings to multidisciplinary teams via video conferencing and shared workspaces.
• Maintain and calibrate surveying equipment, stay current with emerging technologies, and provide technical guidance to junior staff and interns.
• Assist in the preparation of legal descriptions, easement plats, and right‑of‑way documentation for real‑estate and infrastructure projects.
• Participate in project planning sessions, offering expertise on feasibility, site constraints, and data collection strategies.

Tools & Technologies

• GNSS/GPS receivers (Trimble, Leica, Topcon) and total stations for high‑precision field measurements.
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with photogrammetry and LiDAR sensors for aerial data capture.
• Laser scanners and mobile mapping systems for detailed topographic and as‑built surveys.
• AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroSurvey, Bentley MicroStation for drafting and design integration.
• GIS platforms including ArcGIS Pro and QGIS for spatial analysis and map production.
• Cloud‑based collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Google Workspace for seamless remote teamwork.
• Data processing software like Trimble Business Center, Leica Geo Office, and Pix4D for post‑processing and quality control.

Requirements

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Surveying, Geomatics, Civil Engineering, or a closely related field; alternatively, a professional certification such as LSIT (Land Surveyor‑in‑Training) or PSM (Professional Surveyor‑Mapper) is acceptable.

Experience

Minimum three (3) years of professional surveying experience, with a proven track record of delivering accurate land surveys for residential, commercial, municipal, or infrastructure projects.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency with GNSS/GPS equipment, total stations, laser scanners, and UAV/drone data capture workflows.
• Strong command of AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroSurvey, or Bentley MicroStation; GIS experience with ArcGIS Pro or QGIS is a plus.
• Excellent mathematical aptitude, attention to detail, and ability to interpret legal descriptions, plats, and survey records.
• Effective communication skills for remote collaboration; comfortable using video conferencing, file‑sharing, and project‑management tools.
• Knowledge of relevant Texas surveying statutes, standards, and best practices.

Personal Attributes

• Self‑motivated and able to manage time effectively in a remote work environment.
• Strong problem‑solving mindset with a focus on delivering high‑quality results.
• Adaptable to evolving technologies and eager to pursue continuous learning.
• Team‑oriented with a commitment to safety, ethics, and professional integrity.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range: $55,000 – $80,000 USD per year, based on experience and qualifications.
• Fully remote work arrangement – set your own schedule while staying connected with a collaborative team.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions.
• Generous paid time off, holiday schedule, and parental leave policies.
• Annual stipend for home‑office equipment (desk, chair, monitor, etc.) and ongoing professional development (certifications, conferences, software training).
• Access to the latest surveying technology and software licenses provided by the company.
• Opportunities to work on diverse projects across Texas, ranging from urban development to rural infrastructure.
