Job Description About the Role We're seeking a Survey CAD Technician with strong technical drafting skills and a deeper understanding of how surveying connects to real-world infrastructure. This is not a rote drafting job, it's a chance to be part of a team that values precision, initiative, and critical thinking. You'll work closely with project managers and field staff to draft accurate, well-organized boundary, topographic, and utility surveys. Ideal candidates will have the ability to work independently, think through the "why" behind what they're drawing, and produce a clean, complete work product that can be trusted without extensive revisions. Key Responsibilities • Prepare high-quality survey drawings including boundary, topo, utility, and easement plans, • Draft independently from field notes, point files, and scan data, • Perform deed plotting, boundary analysis, and data checks for accuracy, • Coordinate directly with field crews and project leads to clarify scope and resolve discrepancies, • Assist with project QA/QC and deliverable formatting based on client or municipal standards, • 3+ years of experience in land surveying or civil drafting, • Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D; Carlson Survey or Trimble Business Center experience a plus, • Solid understanding of boundary resolution, topographic surfaces, and utility mapping, • Ability to work independently and take ownership of your work, • Experience with municipal projects or public-sector clients, • Familiarity with 3D laser scanning, GPR, or LiDAR workflows Real impact: You'll be helping deliver critical data for school sites, roadways, and municipal infrastructure across South Jersey, not churning out subdivision plats. Support + autonomy: You'll be given the tools and trust to work independently while still having access to highly skilled teammates when you need support. Modern tools: Work with robotic instruments, 3D scanners, and GPR - this is a tech-forward team focused on accuracy and efficiency. Career growth: Whether you're aiming toward licensure, project management, or a deeper technical role, this position is a launch pad with long-term opportunity.
