Survey Department Leader

Spotlock
Glen Rock, NJ

A well-established, multidisciplinary engineering firm based in Glen Rock, NJ, is seeking a Survey Department Leader to take ownership of its land surveying practice. This is a leadership role with the opportunity to modernize and grow the department while working closely with a talented civil engineering team.

The firm has built a 30+ year reputation across civil, MEP, structural, and architectural disciplines, with a staff of ~30 professionals. Surveying plays a critical role in supporting their in-house projects and select outside clients, and they are looking for a confident, efficient leader who can ensure quality, manage workflow, and oversee deliverables.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead the survey department, overseeing field crews, technicians, and drafting support.
  • Take ownership of project delivery, from boundary and topographic surveys to construction stakeout and monitoring wells.
  • Perform and review survey analysis, mapping, and CAD work (Carlson Survey; Civil 3D available if preferred).
  • Collaborate with civil engineers and other internal teams to support integrated project delivery.
  • Manage department efficiency, scheduling, and cost controls to ensure the group operates as a strong business unit.
  • Mentor and develop junior survey staff while maintaining open, respectful communication across disciplines.
  • Act as the in-house signing authority for surveys (NJ license required; NY license a plus).

What We’re Looking For:

  • Licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) in New Jersey required.
  • Dual licensure in New York is highly preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive land surveying experience, including leadership responsibility.
  • Proficiency with Carlson Survey; familiarity with Civil 3D is welcome.
  • Hands-on drafting experience - willing to dive in, not just delegate.
  • Strong communicator who can foster respect and collaboration across the team.
  • Experience managing field crews and coordinating deliverables in a multi-discipline environment.

Why Join:

  • Key leadership role within a privately held firm.
  • Direct impact on shaping the future of the survey department.
  • Supportive civil/engineering teams and strong backlog of internal work.
  • Competitive base salary targeting $140,000.

This is an opportunity to step into a leadership position where your expertise will be valued, your decisions will shape the department, and your work will directly impact the success of the firm’s projects.
