Construction Surveyor / Concrete & Excavation Layout Specialist

Pay: $24.00–$35.00 per hour ($70,000 - $105,000) – depending on experience

Position Summary

Myers Concrete Construction is seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Construction Surveyor / Layout Specialist to perform construction layout, elevation control, and field verification for concrete construction, excavation, earthwork, and site development projects. The ideal candidate will have experience in structural concrete layout, excavation staking, site grading, and establishing accurate survey controls. This position requires the ability to independently interpret construction plans, operate surveying equipment, perform field calculations, and coordinate effectively with project managers, superintendents, and field crews. This is a hands-on construction surveying position, not traditional land or boundary surveying.

Key Responsibilities

Construction Surveying & Layout

• Perform accurate construction layout for concrete foundations, footings, slabs, grade beams, piers, walls, columns, and other structural concrete elements.
• Establish, verify, and maintain horizontal and vertical control points, benchmarks, building gridlines, offsets, and reference elevations.
• Lay out and verify anchor bolts, embeds, blockouts, sleeves, construction joints, and other structural components.
• Provide accurate elevations and grades for excavation, formwork, reinforcing steel, and concrete placement.
• Conduct post-pour and as-built surveys to verify completed work against project specifications and tolerances.
• Perform field calculations involving elevations, coordinates, slopes, angles, offsets, and distances.
• Identify and resolve layout discrepancies before construction activities proceed.

Excavation, Earthwork & Site Grading Surveying

• Perform construction staking and layout for excavation, site preparation, grading, building pads, trenches, utilities, drainage structures, and other site improvements.
• Establish and maintain excavation limits, cut-and-fill boundaries, control points, benchmarks, slope stakes, offsets, and finished grade elevations.
• Calculate and verify existing and proposed elevations, excavation depths, slopes, and cut-and-fill quantities through field measurements and topographic surveys.
• Verify excavation depths, subgrade elevations, foundation bearing elevations, drainage slopes, and rough and finish grading for compliance with project plans and specifications.
• Coordinate with heavy equipment operators to provide accurate layout and grading information, and perform as-built measurements and final grade verification upon completion.

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum of 3 years in construction surveying, layout, or field engineering.
• Experience with concrete layout, excavation staking, grading, elevation control, and construction surveying principles.
• Proficiency with robotic total stations, GPS/GNSS equipment, laser scanners, and data collectors; Trimble, Leica, or Topcon experience preferred.
• Ability to interpret structural and civil plans, perform field calculations, and utilize AutoCAD, digital layout files, and Microsoft Office.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and coordinate across multiple projects.
• Bilingual English/Spanish skills preferred.
• Valid driver's license required
