Surveyor-PLS

So, here’s how we work. We all get together (and we mean everyone  from every needed specialty) to shape an idea. You’ll have an engineer  around the table with a landscape architect, a surveyor, maybe even a  traffic engineer. From this invigorating first moment of creativity, we  are shaping something. This is a chance to learn and advance your land  surveying skills in a dynamic environment with some incredible peers who  are there to teach and inspire and learn from you. We’re looking for someone who is advanced in their career, so  if you are a PLS,  practiced in  being a good listener, and the ability and desire to collaborate and  learn inside the collective, you better just go ahead and submit an  application. We can’t wait to meet you!

We currently are seeking candidates for PLS/Surveyors to work out of our Bridgton, Springvale and  South Portland locations. 

This is  our outline to provide points of clarity. While it’s not exhaustive,  these are good specifics to be aware of. Not every single person meets  every single one of these criteria, don’t let that stop you from  applying. Together, we shape the new owner and teammate experience with  thoughtful training and ever-present peer support.
