Proficient with modern survey equipment and data collectors
Ability to interpret plans, plats, and legal descriptions
Valid driver’s license; ability to travel throughout Northern Ohio
Ability to work outdoors in varying terrain, weather, and active construction environments, including walking extended distances on uneven ground and handling typical survey equipment, lifting/pushing/pulling/twisting, kneeling/standing/bending often.

Preferred Experience

Industrial, transportation, or heavy civil project experience
Surveyor Intern (SI) certification or progress toward licensure
UAV, laser scanning, or reality capture exposure
Large site development or DOT experience

Pay and Benefits

Paid overtime opportunities
Annual performance bonuses and profit sharing
Annual wage reviews and market adjustment
Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage after 30 days
SME pays 100% of employee medical insurance premiums
401(k) with company match and annual profit sharing
