What We're Looking For

• Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license required (Connecticut and/or New York preferred; reciprocity assistance available).
• Leadership experience managing survey staff and projects.
• Strong background in land development surveying.
• Experience with boundary, topographic, ALTA/NSPS, construction, and residential development surveys.
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD and modern survey technology.
• Excellent communication and client management skills.

Why This Opportunity?

• Lead an established team with an existing client base and steady project backlog.
• Report directly to executive leadership with significant visibility and influence.
• Competitive compensation with base salary targeted up to $160,000+, annual bonus potential, and flexibility for exceptional candidates.
• Excellent long-term career growth with one of the nation's most respected organizations.
