Professional Land Surveyor | West Virginia

Survey Department Manager / Geomatics Lead

Join a premier, fast-growing engineering and surveying firm with a dominant presence across West Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic. This organization has built a reputation for delivering high-impact projects across both public and private sectors and just as importantly, for investing heavily in its people.

Here, your growth isn't capped by title or structure, there's a clear runway to build, scale, and lead a department while advancing your career as far as you want to take it.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee all aspects of the surveying and geomatics department, including multiple field crews and technical support staff
• Manage a diverse portfolio of survey projects across public infrastructure and private development sectors
• Drive business development efforts by identifying new opportunities and expanding relationships with existing clients
• Collaborate with leadership across offices to ensure long-term department performance, profitability, and sustainability
• Plan, organize, and direct the work of survey crews, technicians, and internal staff to ensure efficient operations
• Provide mentorship and leadership to develop the next generation of survey professionals
• Coordinate project assignments, schedules, and deliverables to ensure deadlines and client expectations are consistently met
• Maintain high standards of quality, accuracy, and operational efficiency across all survey work

Qualifications

• Active Professional Surveyor (PS) license in West Virginia (or ability to obtain quickly)
• 5+ years of experience in a leadership or project management capacity within surveying/geomatics
• Proven ability to lead teams, mentor staff, and manage multiple concurrent projects
• Strong business development mindset with the ability to grow client relationships
• Experience with Trimble equipment and modern survey technology preferred
• Excellent organizational and time management skills
• Ability to prioritize and adapt based on project scope and deadlines
• High level of accountability, both independently and within a team environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Clear path to leadership growth, build and shape your own department
• No ceiling on advancement; performance-driven progression, not tenure-based
• Strong backlog of work across transportation, land development, and public infrastructure
• High visibility role with direct impact on the firm's regional growth
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where leadership is empowered; not micromanaged
