Surveyor - convert point cloud to CAD drawings

Job Overview

We are seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Surveyor specialized in converting point cloud data into precise CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work with advanced surveying technologies, including 3D scanners and GPS equipment, to produce accurate topographic maps, construction plans, and boundary surveys. As a key contributor to our surveying team, you will transform raw field data into detailed digital models that support civil engineering projects, land development, and infrastructure planning. Your expertise will help ensure project accuracy, streamline workflows, and support successful project delivery.

Responsibilities

• Operate and manage surveying equipment such as 3D scanners, GPS units, and total stations to collect high-quality survey data in the field.
• Convert point cloud data into detailed CAD drawings using software like AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, Revit, Carlson, and ArcGIS.
• Develop topographic maps, boundary surveys, construction layouts, and schematic diagrams aligned with project specifications.
• Collaborate with civil engineers and project managers to interpret survey data and produce accurate legal descriptions and construction plans.
• Manage surveying teams during field data collection activities ensuring safety protocols and quality standards are maintained.
• Apply principles of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and math to solve complex surveying problems efficiently.
• Maintain meticulous records of survey data, field notes, and CAD files for project documentation and future reference.

Requirements

• Proven experience operating surveying equipment such as Trimble or similar GPS surveying tools and 3D scanners.
• Proficiency in CAD software including AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, Revit, Carlson, and ArcGIS for converting point clouds into detailed drawings.
• Strong understanding of land surveying principles including boundary surveys, ALTA surveys (American Land Title Association), topographic mapping, and construction surveys.
• Knowledge of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology for spatial data management and analysis.
• Ability to interpret schematics, construction plans, legal descriptions, and technical drawings accurately.
• Experience managing or supporting surveying teams during field operations and project execution.
• Familiarity with survey data collection techniques using GPS technology and other modern surveying equipment.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a focus on precision in drafting and data management tasks.
• Civil engineering background or experience working on infrastructure projects is highly desirable.

Join us to be part of a forward-thinking team that values innovation in land surveying! Your expertise will directly impact the success of diverse projects by transforming raw survey data into actionable insights through advanced CAD modeling techniques. We are committed to supporting your professional growth in a collaborative environment that celebrates accuracy, efficiency, and technical excellence.
