We’re looking for a detail‑oriented Survey CAD Technician who enjoys transforming survey data into accurate, high‑quality drawings that support real-world projects.

- Create site plans, right‑of‑way maps, and subdivision plats
- Interpret and reduce field data and survey notes into accurate CAD deliverables
- Build surface models, contours, and digital terrain models
- Perform basic survey calculations (COGO, areas, curves, elevations)
- Apply drafting standards and quality control procedures
- Update drawings based on redlines and field revisions
- Assist with survey documentation and project records as needed
What You Bring
- Proficiency with AutoCAD
- Working knowledge of land surveying concepts and terminology
- Ability to read survey notes, plats, and construction plans
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage deadlines
Bonus: Experience with Civil 3D, Carlson, or MicroStation, or relevant coursework in surveying, geomatics, or civil drafting.
