•Ability to mentor or lead a survey technician or two‑person crew

What Makes an Ideal Candidate

Standout Qualities

•Active Indiana LS license with the ability to stamp deliverables

•Experience managing survey projects from records research through final plat

•Familiarity with county recorder and surveyor systems in central Indiana

This is not a large production environment — it’s a lean, high‑accountability team where your judgment and field expertise directly influence project outcomes.
