About the position
KPFF Survey is actively recruiting for a full-time Project Surveyor position in Portland, Oregon. This role is essential for our diverse range of projects, which include control, boundary, topographic, utility, ALTA, verification, and monitor surveying. As a Project Surveyor, you will be responsible for collecting field data using the latest survey-grade equipment, including conventional total stations, digital levels, GPS, 3D scanners, and drone lidar technology. You will collaborate with engineers, architects, landscape architects, developers, and public agencies, providing you with a dynamic work environment that can range from urban settings in downtown Portland to remote locations in eastern Oregon and beyond. The ideal candidate for this position will have a background in survey project management or be a senior office technician seeking career advancement.
