About the Role
We’re seeking a Survey CAD Technician with strong technical drafting skills and a deeper understanding of how surveying connects to real-world infrastructure. This is not a rote drafting job, it’s a chance to be part of a team that values precision, initiative, and critical thinking.
You’ll work closely with project managers and field staff to draft accurate, well-organized boundary, topographic, and utility surveys. Ideal candidates will have the ability to work independently, think through the "why" behind what they’re drawing, and produce a clean, complete work product that can be trusted without extensive revisions.
Key Responsibilities
Prepare high-quality survey drawings including boundary, topo, utility, and easement plans
Draft independently from field notes, point files, and scan data
Perform deed plotting, boundary analysis, and data checks for accuracy
Coordinate directly with field crews and project leads to clarify scope and resolve discrepancies
Assist with project QA/QC and deliverable formatting based on client or municipal standards
Support scanning and GPR data integration into final deliverables (training provided if needed)
Requirements
3+ years of experience in land surveying or civil drafting
Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D; Carlson Survey or Trimble Business Center experience a plus
Solid understanding of boundary resolution, topographic surfaces, and utility mapping
Ability to work independently and take ownership of your work
Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with municipal projects or public-sector clients
Familiarity with 3D laser scanning, GPR, or LiDAR workflows
Comfortable interacting with field crews and understanding their needs
Why This Role Stands Out
Real impact: You’ll be helping deliver critical data for school sites, roadways, and municipal infrastructure across South Jersey, not churning out subdivision plats.
Support + autonomy: You’ll be given the tools and trust to work independently while still having access to highly skilled teammates when you need support.
Modern tools: Work with robotic instruments, 3D scanners, and GPR - this is a tech-forward team focused on accuracy and efficiency.
Career growth: Whether you're aiming toward licensure, project management, or a deeper technical role, this position is a launch pad with long-term opportunity.
