Licensed Land Surveyor - Leadership

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) to take a leadership role within our New York operation and help lead the continued growth of our surveying practice. This senior position carries responsibility for leading the office, managing the surveying team, overseeing technical quality, developing client relationships, and driving the financial performance and growth of the practice. The role offers real ownership of the operation while working with an established team, existing clients, and a strong pipeline of projects.

Responsibilities

• Lead and develop the surveying team and office.
• Provide senior technical oversight, QA/QC, and review of survey work.
• Manage key client relationships and major projects.
• Oversee office financial performance and profit & loss.
• Support business development and identify new opportunities.
• Participate in hiring, mentoring, and development of the team.
• Help establish the strategic and operational direction of the practice.
• Maintain strong relationships with clients, contractors, and other professional partners.
• Focus on leadership, management, client engagement, and office development rather than field work.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary $170,000–$200,000+, depending on experience.
• Performance‑based bonus / profit‑sharing opportunities.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company contribution.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Professional development and continuing education.
• Company‑paid professional licensing and professional memberships.

Why This Opportunity?

The office already has an established presence, experienced personnel, and a strong project pipeline. The goal is to bring in an experienced PLS who can take ownership of the practice and lead it into its next stage of growth. For the right person, there is significant opportunity to build the team, expand the client base, influence business strategy, and increase earning potential as the practice grows. This role is ideal for a PLS currently leading a team, managing an office, or running a smaller surveying practice who seeks a larger platform and greater resources.
