WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

The Field Survey Technician should be able to take direction from the Layout Party Chief and turn it into accurate, reliable field support. This includes collecting field data, assisting with control and staking, verifying grades and elevations, supporting pipe and structure layout, maintaining survey equipment, and communicating discrepancies before they affect construction production.

We are looking for someone who understands that survey support directly affects how accurately and efficiently the project is built. The Technician should know:

What are we laying out? What control, grade, elevation, or dimension applies? Is the field data accurate? Does the layout match the plans? What does the field crew need next? Are there conflicts or discrepancies that need to be communicated? Am I protecting the accuracy of the work while operating safely?

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is an opportunity for a Field Survey Technician to develop construction surveying and layout skills while supporting TOLM Group’s water/wastewater construction operations. The right person will gain hands-on experience with treatment plants, pump stations, underground utilities, piping, concrete, mechanical equipment, GPS, total stations, survey data, and machine-control activities while working alongside experienced construction and survey professionals.
