Job Description

I'm excited to be partnering with a well-established, Houston-based firm that’s looking to bring on an exceptional Senior Survey Project Manager to lead transformative, high-impact projects across the Greater Houston area. This is a high-visibility leadership opportunity for someone with deep surveying expertise who’s passionate about quality, innovation, and making a lasting difference in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.

Whether you're drawn to large-scale infrastructure projects, energy/pipeline work, or urban development, this role puts you at the forefront of progress. You’ll manage complex projects, mentor talented professionals, and build strong relationships with clients, all while contributing to Houston’s exciting growth story.


🌟 Why This Role Stands Out:

Houston is a hub of innovation and opportunity — from energy and infrastructure to commercial and residential development. This role gives you the chance to lead meaningful projects that directly impact communities, clients, and the built environment. You'll join a forward-thinking company with a strong reputation for excellence, collaboration, and technical expertise.


🛠️ Key Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the lead project manager on a wide variety of surveying assignments, from boundary and topographic surveys to route and pipeline surveys.

  • Oversee all aspects of project execution — from initial scope and planning to budgeting, scheduling, and client delivery.

  • Ensure that all work complies with state and local survey regulations, industry standards, and client specifications.

  • Foster strong, lasting relationships with both new and existing clients, serving as a trusted consultant and project leader.

  • Mentor and lead internal survey teams, supporting their professional growth while maintaining the highest level of performance and quality control.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, CAD technicians, field crews, and other stakeholders to deliver projects on time and within budget.

  • Leverage your technical knowledge to troubleshoot challenges, anticipate client needs, and provide strategic solutions.


✅ What We're Looking For:

  • Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS) in Texas – REQUIRED.

  • 12+ years of survey project management experience, ideally with exposure to civil engineering, oil & gas, or infrastructure sectors.

  • Strong command of Carlson, AutoCAD, and other survey software.

  • Extensive knowledge of Texas land survey regulations, pipeline survey methods, and right-of-way practices.

  • Exceptional leadership and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to motivate teams and engage clients.

  • Experience managing multiple complex projects and delivering results in a fast-paced environment.


💼 Why Join This Firm?

  • Be at the helm of major projects that shape the city and beyond.

  • Enjoy a competitive compensation package, including salary, performance bonuses, health benefits, retirement plans, and more.

  • Thrive in a collaborative and innovative work environment that values integrity, quality, and continuous improvement.

  • Benefit from a clear path for advancement, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.

  • Join a team of experts who are passionate about surveying, technology, and building a better future for Houston.
