Surveyor

So, here’s how we work. We all get together (and we mean everyone from every needed specialty) to shape an idea. You’ll have an engineer around the table with a landscape architect, a surveyor, maybe even a traffic engineer. From this invigorating first moment of creativity, we are shaping something. This is a chance to learn and advance your land surveying skills in a dynamic environment with some incredible peers who are there to teach and inspire and learn from you. We’re looking for someone who is advanced in their career, so if you have a two-year degree or comparable experience, practice in being a good listener, and the ability and desire to collaborate and learn inside the collective, you better just go ahead and submit an application. We can’t wait to meet you!

We currently are seeking candidates for Surveyors to work out of our Bridgton, Sanford/Springvale, and/or South Portland locations. 

Typical Duties and Responsibilities:

This is our outline to provide points of clarity. While it’s not exhaustive, these are good specifics to be aware of. However, do not let this list guide your decision to apply.  We would love to hear from you even if you do not have all of these skills and knowledge areas. Together, we shape the new owner and teammate experience with thoughtful training and ever-present peer support.

• Being familiar with proper procedures for the care, cleaning and use of a variety of surveying tools and equipment, including field radios.
• Know how to operate, check and perform basic field adjustments on transits, theodolite, EDMI, total stations, total electronic station, data collectors, levels, compass, tribrachs, and tripods. Includes repeating observations and steel taping. 
• Perform mathematical checks of trigonometry, geometry, algebra, coordinate geometry, and basic surveying computations. 
• Have a working knowledge of hand-held calculators is important. 
• Be able to perform traverse and level loop computations including closure, precision determination and adjustment computations. 
• Be familiar with taping corrections, basic principles of measurement, EDMI baseline comparison computations, error propagation, and astronomic azimuth determination. 
• Perform and/or check lot, area, and intersection (bearing-bearing, distance-distance, bearing-distance) computations. 
• Have a general understanding of land use regulations as they relate to lot and site development.

Knowledge/Competencies

• Knowing the principles of performing basic surveys: leveling, traversing, public land surveys, metes and bounds surveys, construction surveys, horizontal control surveys, State Plane Coordinate surveys and as-built surveys.

• General knowledge of hydrographic, mining and photogrammetric surveying. 
• Know the principles of astronomical observations. 
• Ability to keep, reduce, and check (for completeness and accuracy) neat and orderly field notes for standard surveying operations: leveling, traversing, topographic mapping, layout, as-built surveys, boundary surveys, profile and cross-section surveys. 
• Use of hand-held calculations or microcomputer software, be able to enter field data and produce positional information. 
• Knowing when to use, how to obtain, and how to interpret control point records and data sheets, as well as locate points in the field. 
• Knowledge of and familiarization with general applications of CAD. 
• Be able to coordinate design elements, obtained from professionals, into final drawings. 
• Knowledge of surveying ethics and technical standards and organizations such as MSPS, ALTA, NGS, ACSM, BLMS, and ASCE.

Education

•  2-year Associates or 4-year B.S. degree in Surveying/Surveying Technology or the equivalent work experience preferred.

Physical Activities and Requirements:

• Ability to stand for long periods of time.
• Ability to walk long distance if required.
• Ability to climb embankments.
• Ability to bend at the waist and knees.
• Exposure to all types of Maine weather.
