Job description:

Keltic Geomatics is seeking an experienced Survey Crew Lead/Drafter with 5+ years to join our team in a combined office and field role. You'll split your time between hands-on field surveying with our crew and office-based work, processing data, preparing jobs, and delivering as-builts. Office days offer the opportunity to work from home when you're not required on-site. As the company grows, there is opportunity for the role to shift toward more office-based work over time, with the right person eventually stepping into a Survey Manager capacity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform construction survey in the field as part of an active crew
• Set up and prepare jobs for field crews prior to mobilization, including creating survey layout files
• Process and quality-check field data using Civil 3D and TBC and direct field staff to acquire additional data as needed
• Produce accurate, complete as-built drawings and reports for timely client delivery
• Provide technical support to field staff, including occasional after-hours assistance

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of progressive construction survey and geomatics experience
• Field crew lead or party chief experience, able to run a crew independently on site
• Strong, proven proficiency in Autodesk Civil 3D and Trimble Business Center (TBC) - this is non-negotiable
• Comfortable working both in the field and in the office
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple deliverables independently
• Available for field questions outside of regular hours when projects demand it
• Valid driver's licence and willingness to travel province-wide
• Diploma or degree in Geomatics, Survey Technology, or equivalent experience considered

Why Join Us:

• Comprehensive and competitive salary and benefits package.
• This role offers flexibility to work from home for office-based tasks, with regular field days as project needs dictate.
• Collaborative and supportive work environment that values teamwork.
• Opportunities for continuous professional development and career growth.
• Opportunity to contribute to a diverse range of projects across multiple sectors.
