Texas Registered Professional Land Surveyor

Advance Your Career: Texas Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS) at CEC!

Are you ready to move beyond task-based work and take ownership of your professional future? This is your opportunity to lead, innovate, and grow with a nationally ranked firm that operates with the agility and ambition of a high-growth startup. At Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC), we are seeking a driven, entrepreneurial Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS) to lead and expand our survey practice in Texas.

Why This Role Stands Out: Ownership & Impact

This is more than a management position-it's a leadership opportunity. As a leader in our Austin survey operations, you'll have the autonomy to shape the future of the practice, challenge conventional approaches, and build something exceptional.

Key Responsibilities:

Practice Leadership: Build and scale the Texas survey team. Recruit, train, and mentor field crews while setting a high-performance standard
• Project Management: Oversee the full project lifecycle-from fieldwork and technical approvals to budgeting and invoicing
• Technical Oversight: Lead complex, multi-disciplinary surveys (ALTA/NSPS, boundary, control) and ensure all documentation meets regulatory and quality standards
• Quality Assurance: Serve as the final reviewer for all deliverables, maintaining rigorous quality control and consistency

• Licensure: Texas RPLS certification required, or LSIT with the ability to obtain licensure promptly
• Experience: Minimum of 3 years of professional land surveying experience
• Technical Proficiency: Expertise with GPS, robotic total stations, and modern survey software. Familiarity with Trimble Access/TBC or AutoCAD is a strong advantage
• Field Readiness: Valid driver's license required for site visits and field operations

Inclusive Culture: Join vibrant Employee Resource Groups like CEC Ignite (early career development) and CEC iDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, Acceptance).

Work-Life Balance: Enjoy flexible work arrangements and comprehensive benefits that support your personal and professional well-being.
