A land surveyor is a highly trained professional who makes precise measurements to determine property boundaries. They provide data relevant to the shape and contour of the Earth’s surface for engineering, mapmaking and construction projects. As a surveyor, your services are in demand like no other profession. If you are looking to travel the world, work outdoors, and earn money while doing it, then this may be the profession for you!

You will collect angles and elevations used for construction, map making, or other purposes, using advanced technology and surveying equipment. While in the field, you will learn how to take notes, sketch drawings and read plans. You will also gain exposure to additional surveying tasks such as records research and quality control. We have a safety first culture and you will be required to complete safety and corporate compliance trainings throughout the program.
