Survey Technician - Land & Hydrographic

Work on land. Get on the water. Build your surveying career.

Terraquatic, Inc. is seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Survey Technician to join our team. Established in 2004, we specialize in hydrographic, bathymetric, topographic, boundary, and construction surveying.

Our projects take us to waterways, beaches, marinas, construction sites, and waterfront properties throughout Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. We’re looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in accurate work, and wants to develop skills in both land and marine surveying.

Pay Range is $20 to $35 an hour depending on experience.

What You’ll Do

• Assist with land and hydrographic surveys using GNSS/GPS equipment, robotic total stations, and sonar systems.
• Set up and maintain surveying equipment, collect field data, and keep clear field notes.
• Assist with survey control, construction layout, elevation measurements, and boundary monument recovery.
• Work aboard survey vessels and assist with equipment setup, launching, and daily field operations.
• Help organize, download, and check survey data.
• Care for company equipment, vehicles, and vessels.
• Travel to project sites and work occasional extended hours or overnight assignments as needed. Travel is typically 1 to 3 nights a week depending on work load. Not every week will be a travel week.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous surveying or related field experience preferred.
• Dependability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.
• Comfort working outdoors in Florida conditions and aboard small boats.
• Ability to follow instructions, communicate clearly, and work well with a small team.
• Ability to perform field duties involving equipment handling, walking on uneven terrain, and working around/in water.
• Valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record.

Experience That Stands Out

Experience with Trimble equipment, HYPACK, Civil 3D, hydrographic data collection or processing, boat handling, or drone surveying is a plus. You do not need experience in every area to apply.

Why Terraquatic?

You’ll gain hands-on experience with modern survey technology, work on a variety of land and marine projects, and learn directly from experienced survey professionals. We value people who take ownership of their work, solve problems, and want to grow into greater responsibility.

Compensation: Hourly rate based on experience and qualifications.
