Let’s build something that lasts — together.

Rooted in local knowledge and long-term relationships, we take pride in doing things the right way—delivering solutions that truly stand the test of time.

We are looking for an Intermediate Survey Technologist to join our Survey Group and support a wide range of municipal infrastructure, land development, construction, and boundary-related projects.

• Interpret survey plans, legal descriptions, and design drawings to support field activities.
• Maintain accurate, complete, and defensible field notes and documentation.
• Process survey data using established control, coordinate systems, and quality control procedures.
• Prepare grade sheets and supporting documentation for municipal projects.
• Conduct site inspections to verify that construction aligns with approved drawings and specifications.
• Track and verify construction quantities to support contract administration and progress payments.
• Provide technical guidance to junior staff and contribute to the continuous improvement of field procedures.
• Communicate project status and coordinate effectively with project managers, contractors, and internal teams.

Working Conditions

• Primarily outdoor fieldwork with some office-based data processing.
• Exposure to varying weather conditions throughout the year.
• Travel outside Saskatoon required approximately 5% of the time, including occasional overnight stays.
• Frequent walking over uneven terrain, lifting equipment, hammering survey monuments, and working in active construction environments.
• Ability to lift or move up to 50 lbs on a regular basis.
