Full Job Description

Job Title: Instrument Operator (Survey Crew / Crew Chief Track)

Overview

We are seeking a skilled Instrument Operator who takes pride in precision, technology, and fieldwork to join our Raleigh, NC team. In this role, you’ll be a key driver of field data collection—operating advanced survey equipment, supporting a two-person crew, and playing a critical role in delivering accurate, high-quality survey results across a variety of projects throughout the Triangle region and the broader Southeast.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working outdoors, mastering survey technology, and growing into a leadership role such as Crew Chief.

What You’ll Do

Operate total stations, GPS equipment, data collectors, and levels to gather precise field data on a wide range of survey projects
Serve as the technical backbone of a two-person field crew, ensuring measurements are accurate, consistent, and reliable
Assist with daily field operations, including setup, calibration, and troubleshooting of survey instrumentation
Collect, record, and verify data for topographic surveys, construction staking, boundary surveys, and utility work
Perform field calculations and quality checks to ensure accuracy before submitting data to the office
Work closely with the Crew Chief to plan efficient field workflows and meet project timelines
Maintain and care for survey equipment and vehicles, ensuring everything is calibrated, functional, and field-ready
Keep detailed field notes, sketches, and digital records that clearly document survey activities
Collaborate with office staff and engineers to ensure smooth data transfer and project execution
Follow and uphold all safety standards and procedures in dynamic outdoor environments

What You Bring

2+ years of experience as an Instrument Operator (or similar field role in land surveying)
Hands-on experience with total stations, GPS systems, and data collectors
Strong attention to detail—you care about getting measurements right the first time
A technical, process-driven mindset with the ability to troubleshoot equipment and field challenges
Comfort working outdoors in varying conditions and on diverse job sites
Ability to work both independently and as part of a small, high-performing crew
Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
Willingness to travel (up to ~50–60%) with occasional overnight stays

Bonus Experience

Exposure to construction staking, ALTA surveys, utility locating, or topographic surveys
Familiarity with DOT/transportation projects, land development, or municipal work
Experience working with or exporting data to Civil 3D or similar platforms
Interest in growing into a Crew Chief or leadership role

Why This Role Stands Out

Work with modern survey technology on diverse, high-impact projects
Gain experience across land development, transportation, and public-sector projects
Clear path for advancement into Crew Chief leadership
Be part of a team that values precision, efficiency, and professional growth
Enjoy a mix of independent fieldwork and team collaboration

Work Environment

Based in Raleigh, NC, supporting projects throughout the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) and surrounding regions
Frequent fieldwork on construction sites, roadways, utilities, and development projects
Exposure to varying terrain and weather conditions
Travel opportunities (up to ~50–60%), with company-supported expenses
