Senior Survey Office Technician

This is not your typical job posting. I was looking through comparable jobs, and it made me sad. Most of these job listings are “canned” and full of buzzwords. If I was looking for a new job, these posts wouldn’t excite me. So, here is my attempt to find you…the right person for our team. There is only one of you out there, and I am looking forward to meeting you.

At Inland Geodetics, we pride ourselves on providing accurate, timely, and reliable professional Land Surveying services. With over 20 years in the industry, we are a privately-owned, survey-only small business specializing in infrastructure projects for municipalities and civil engineers in the Central Texas Region.

Not only are we passionate about the work we do - but also the team we have cultivated. If you work here, we can guarantee you'll be respected, treated like a professional, trusted, and given the opportunity to learn, grow, and advance to your fullest potential at work and in life.

We are expanding quickly and looking for a Senior Survey Office Technician to join our tight-knit team. The ideal candidate for this position will have 5 years of previous experience with strong technical acumen and excellent communication skills.

We, ideally, would like a candidate located in the Round Rock, TX area to work in-office but are flexible to remote or hybrid work solutions.

Who we are:

• We are a group of coworkers who like the outdoors, history, math, Texas, and we happen to do surveys to make a living.
• We are large enough for stability but small enough to be scrappy and flexible.
• We are growing and will continue to grow.
• We plan on running this business for decades with the same team and the same customers built around great people and great systems.
• We will eventually be the region's premier and most respected infrastructure survey firm. It will take us a decade, but we will get there.
• We like to laugh, and we laugh often.
• We don’t like corporate bureaucracy; we simply trust people instead.
• We pay really well.
• 100% company paid premiums for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Generous paid time off.
• We want you to be able to retire, so we have a Simple IRA with up to a 3% match.
• We like education, so we have Tuition reimbursement for survey-related classes.

In a typical day, you will:

• Arrive whenever you want because you’re a grown person. Though we prefer you to be available periodically for a meeting or calls.
• We only meet once a week on Monday morning to go over our portfolio. We hate meetings.
• You will then spend part of the morning accomplishing the daily processing of data using our standards and part of the morning joking around. Although we mostly joke and chat after lunch so we can get stuff done.
• Lunch is up to you. We very often all go out together, some people work out, and some eat at their desks like serial killers.
• Afternoons are more processing, reviewing, catch-up meetings, and debriefing if needed, with field crews when they get back.
• We focus exclusively on infrastructure projects in Central Texas, and the occasional out-of-town job. The work is mostly ROWs, highways, utilities, and land acquisitions. We occasionally get cool Parks and Rec, airport, or Costal Boundary work.
• Most office staff leave between 5:00 and 6:00, but it’s up to you to get your work done and hours in.

Who you should be:

• You have a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience
• Strong computer and technical skills including; Carlson, MicroStation, or similar applications (we don't currently use Civil 3D, but if you do, that's ok, we’ll train you)
• You are tired of working at jobs where people don’t really care about the team or the performance.
• You may be tired of your job at an engineering firm that doesn’t respect surveyors.
• You like to be around excellence. You like to see the team exceed.
• You like to work hard and see your talents used to their fullest.
• You want to find a place where you can hang your hat for the long term.
• You can multitask with the utmost accuracy
• Solid work ethic, excellent communication skills, and a “team player” attitude
• Great listening, writing, and verbal communication skills
• Excellent attention to detail

We’d also love it if you have:

• A personality.
