Key responsibilities include assisting the field supervisor with the daily crew workload, working safely and complying with all safety regulations, supervising the survey crew in the absence of the crew chief, and operating as a one‑person crew when required. The role also involves daily uploading and downloading of data collector files, routine care and charging of instrumentation, and continuously advancing knowledge through technology upgrades.
Dewberry is currently seeking an experienced Survey Instrument Operator. The applicant must be responsible, highly motivated, and detail oriented, joining the Land Surveying department in Richmond, VA as a Land Survey Technician serving the Mid-Atlantic territory. The role requires working in a team environment as a key member of a survey crew, assisting with boundary, ALTA, topographic, right‑of‑way acquisition, transmission line, transportation, and construction surveys using the latest equipment and technology, and the ability to supervise the crew or work independently when needed.
Candidates must have at least two years of survey experience and a high school diploma, strong mathematical, computer, and data collector skills, and proficiency with Topcon and Trimble equipment (GPS, robotics, total stations, levels, and data collectors) as well as Carlson SurvCE and Trimble Survey Controller software. Good communication skills, a valid driver’s license, the ability to pass a drug test, and dependability are required. Physical ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions, perform tasks such as stooping, crawling, bending, squatting, lifting 50 lb, and standing for long periods is essential, along with willingness to work overtime and travel for extended periods. Experience with electric transmission or oil and gas transmission projects, and the ability to obtain a security clearance are considered a plus.
The position offers opportunities for advancement for a motivated individual willing to grow with the evolving skills and technology required of a Land Surveyor.
