Who We Are

At Weygand, we're not just surveyors — we're a team of professionals who take real pride in the work we deliver. From boundary and ALTA surveys to topographic, construction-staking, and platting, our crews are out every day helping clients move projects forward across Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida. We believe the best work happens when good people are supported, equipped, and trusted to lead.

Role Description

We're hiring a Survey Crew Chief to run a field crew out of our Birmingham office. You'll be the lead set of hands and eyes on each project: planning the day, operating the equipment, mentoring your crew, and producing field data the office can rely on. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys being outside, solving problems on the fly, and setting the standard for what a Weygand crew looks like in the field.

Job Duties

  • Lead a field crew on boundary, ALTA, topographic, construction-staking, and subdivision-platting projects.
  • Operate robotic total stations, GNSS/GPS equipment, data collectors, and digital levels.
  • Interpret deeds, plats, easements, and project drawings before and during fieldwork.
  • Plan the day's work, set the safety tone, and keep the crew productive and accurate.
  • Communicate clearly with the office, project managers, clients, and subcontractors on site.
  • Maintain field equipment and vehicles; report issues quickly so they don't slow the team down.
  • Mentor and develop crew members — Weygand promotes from within and you'll be a key part of that.
  • Produce clean, organized field notes and data files that office staff can turn into deliverables without re-work.

Qualifications

  • 2–5 years of land-surveying field experience (some of it in a lead or party-chief role preferred).
  • Confident operating robotic total stations and GNSS gear; comfortable with modern data collectors.
  • Strong reading of deeds, plats, and construction drawings.
  • Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
  • Physically able to work outdoors year-round across varied terrain.
  • Reliable, organized, and a clear communicator — verbal and written.
  • LSIT/SIT, AS/BS in surveying or related field, or active progress toward licensure is a plus, not required.

Why Weygand

  • Collaborative, team-focused environment with leadership that's been in the field themselves.
  • Modern equipment fleet — robotic total stations, GNSS, drones, and LiDAR — kept in good working order.
  • Wide variety of work: residential boundaries one week, large ALTA assignments the next.
  • Competitive pay, full benefits, paid time off, and a clear path to advancement.
  • Real investment in your professional development, including support toward LSIT/PLS licensure if that's your goal.
