Job Description

Director of Surveying - Professional Land Surveyor (P.L.S.)

St. Louis Metro $100K-$125K + Bonus 3 Weeks PTO + 100% Paid Health Premiums

Be the leader who sets the pace for some of the region's most high-profile development projects.

This opportunity is for an established surveying and engineering firm with over 75 years of experience serving the St. Louis metropolitan area. As Director of Surveying, you won't just oversee projects - you'll shape the future of a department that touches nearly every major residential and infrastructure development in the region. This role offers a rare balance: lead a respected survey team while still rolling up your sleeves on high-level technical work.

Why This Role Matters

  • Direct impact: Your leadership keeps multimillion-dollar projects moving on schedule - from subdivision plats to ALTA/NSPS surveys.
  • Built-in stability: Backed by decades of trusted client relationships and consistent project flow, this firm offers unmatched security and long-term opportunity.
  • Growth trajectory: For the right leader, this role has clear potential to evolve into a succession path with broader company leadership opportunities.

What You'll Lead

  • Oversee daily operations of the Survey Department - scheduling, budgeting, and quality control.
  • Mentor, manage, and grow a team of field crews and CAD staff.
  • Tackle complex boundary and ALTA/NSPS surveys, guiding technical excellence.
  • Partner with engineers, contractors, attorneys, and local municipalities to deliver accurate and timely survey solutions.
  • Champion technology - AutoCAD, GPS, robotics, and 3D scanning - to keep the survey division at the forefront.

What You Bring

  • Current Professional Land Surveyor (P.L.S.) license in Missouri and/or Illinois.
  • 10+ years of boundary/ALTA survey experience with a deep understanding of legal principles.
  • Proven leadership in managing survey teams and coordinating across disciplines.
  • A balance of management and production - you're as comfortable leading people as you are solving technical challenges.

Why Join

  • Compensation: $100K-$125K base + bonus opportunities.
  • Benefits that matter: Employer covers nearly 100% of health insurance premiums (single or family), plus dental, paid life insurance, HSA option.
  • Time off: 3 weeks PTO from day one.
  • Professional growth: Continuing education and licensure support - because your career matters here.
  • Culture: A leadership team that values respect, accountability, and work that stands the test of time.

If you're a proven survey leader ready to take ownership of a department with the resources, reputation, and pipeline to match your ambition - this is your seat at the table.
