• Drive project budgets, proposals, and resource planning while managing multiple large projects simultaneously.
  
• Mentor and oversee survey teams, shaping the next generation of survey professionals.
  
• Contribute to business development and grow relationships with new and existing clients.
  
• Work for a firm recognized as a Best Place to Work and known for its award-winning culture.
  

What You Bring:

• Licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) with 10+ years of Illinois experience.
  
• Strong skills in AutoCAD, MicroStation, Trimble Business Center, and field surveying equipment (Trimble robotic total station & GPS).

• Alignment with a company that values mission-driven work and professional growth.

• Work in a flexible, collaborative, and high-performing environment.
  
• Gain mentorship and professional development from industry leaders.
