- Assist with quantity takeoffs, field measurements, and production tracking
- Work closely with Superintendents and field teams to support accurate project execution

- Identify layout conflicts, field discrepancies, or plan issues early and communicate them clearly
- Maintain accurate survey records, field notes, and documentation
What They're Looking For
- 8+ years of construction survey and layout experience on civil, sitework, public infrastructure, utility, or related construction projects
- Strong knowledge of survey equipment including total stations, data collectors, and GPS
- Experience with site layout, grading, elevations, utilities, foundations, drainage, and concrete-related layout
- 5+ years of AutoCAD experience preferred
- Ability to read and interpret plans, drawings, elevations, and specifications
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
- Good communication skills and ability to work well with Superintendents, Project Managers, and field crews
- Willingness to travel to projects throughout Boston and surrounding areas
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Opportunity to play a key role in the successful delivery of complex civil and public infrastructure projects
- Stable contractor with a strong regional presence and steady project pipeline
- Hands-on role with direct impact on field accuracy, schedule, and project execution
- Collaborative team environment where experienced construction professionals are valued
- Strong compensation for a surveyor who can take ownership of layout, documentation, and field coordination
