As a survey technician, located in our Taylorsville, Utah office, you'll spend approximately 80% of your time in the office and 20% in the field. Your primary role will be working with survey data, preparing drawings and plans, and supporting projects in an office environment. Periodically, you'll get out into the field to assist with surveys, collect data, and gain hands-on experience. At Avenue we believe cross training staff between field and office tasks makes better, more well-rounded surveyors and provides greater opportunities for their future advancement and an accelerated path to licensure. Additional tasks, based on experience, may include preparation of, or the retracement of plats, deeds, legal descriptions or other surveying and conveyance documents.
