Job description:
Youll be the boots-on-the-ground leader guiding boundary and topographic surveys, ALTA/NSPS surveys, and construction staking across some of LAs most iconic neighborhoods, from the Hollywood Hills to Malibus coastline. One day youre setting hubs on a hillside property in Beverly Hills, the next youre drafting a record of survey that will outlive all of us.
This role blends field leadership with technical finesse. Youll manage field-to-office data workflows, oversee quality control, and ensure every survey meets professional and regulatory standards. If youre a Licensed California Professional Land Surveyor, fantastic. If youre an experienced Crew Chief whos ready and able to pursue licensure, theyre open to that journey too.
What Youll Be Doing
- Leading and performing boundary, topographic, and ALTA/NSPS surveys
- Executing construction staking with accuracy and efficiency
- Drafting records of survey and corner records
- Conducting quality control checks before deliverables go out
- Managing data downloads, photos, and field-to-office processing
- Operating total stations, GPS equipment, and data collectors like a pro
- Using AutoCAD and Civil 3D to produce clean, precise drafting
Qualifications:
What You Bring
- Licensed California PLS preferred, or strong Crew Chief experience with clear path toward licensure
- Solid field survey background, with formal surveying education as a plus
- Hands-on experience with boundary, topo, ALTA, and construction staking
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D
- Comfort working across rugged terrain and in varied weather conditions
- Ability to lift up to 30 lbs, clear brush, dig, set markers, and load equipment
- Strong communication skills and a professional presence with clients on-site
- Self-motivation, reliability, and a meticulous eye for detail
Why is This a Great Opportunity:
Where Youll Work
- Projects are primarily based in Santa Clarita and across Los Angeles County, including Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Glendale, and Pasadena.
- Local candidates are preferred, but hybrid flexibility is available for professionals who can meet crews on-site, work from a home office on admin days, and travel to the Santa Clarita office as needed.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This isnt just a run the crew and go home role. Its a chance to be trusted with high-value projects, work in some of Californias most sought-after locations, and contribute to a company that values precision, professionalism, and long-term growth.
