Land Survey Technician

Hicks & Mann, Inc. is a surveying and engineering firm in Williamstown, Kentucky. We have been working in Grant County and the five counties around it since 1976. We are adding someone at the start of a survey career. No survey experience is required. You will be trained on the job by our licensed land surveyors and an experienced field crew.

What you would do:

• Hold the rod and run the tape on boundary, topographic and construction surveys
• Learn to set up and level a robotic total station and a GNSS receiver, and to collect and check the data
• Find, recover and set property corners and monuments
• Set stakes for streets, utilities and building pads during construction
• Clear line, flag and mark boundaries, and keep the truck and equipment in order
• Help in the office with record research and drafting as you learn it

What we need:

• A willingness to learn and to do it again until it is right
• A valid driver's license. You will drive company vehicles to job sites.
• Able to work outdoors year round, in heat, cold and rain, walk uneven ground, and lift and carry survey equipment
• Reliable, on time, and careful with numbers and details. Basic geometry and arithmetic.

What helps:

• Time in construction, farming, or other outdoor trades
• Coursework in surveying, civil engineering technology, drafting or math
• Any familiarity with AutoCAD or Carlson

Where it leads:

Field crews are where surveyors and crew chiefs start. For the right person the job leads to crew chief, and toward a Kentucky survey license if that is your goal.

Pay and benefits:

Hourly, paid weekly. Field vehicle and survey equipment provided. W-2 position with paid holidays and paid time off.

To apply, email [email protected]. A resume is welcome, but if you do not have one, send a few sentences about yourself and what you have done outdoors or with your hands. Every application is read.
