Description
At Conductor Power, we’re looking for a detail-oriented and experienced Survey Superintendent to support our utility-scale renewable energy project in Jal, New Mexico. Based full-time on site, this role is critical in ensuring accurate site layouts, elevations, and reference points throughout the construction process.

Proficiency with survey equipment and software—such as GPS units, total stations, and CAD file formats—is essential, as is the ability to interpret civil drawings and manage layout documentation. A high school diploma is required, and additional coursework or certifications in surveying or construction management are preferred.
