Amundson Group
Survey Crew Chief – Charlotte, NC
A self-performing contractor in the Charlotte area is scaling their survey operation and looking for an experienced Crew Chief to lead field teams on construction layout, staking, and topographic survey work. This is a hands-on field role with real growth potential into management and CAD-based positions.
What You Will Run
- Construction staking and layout on active job sites across the region
- Topographic surveys using Trimble GPS systems and data collectors
- Field calculations, data verification, and quality control on all survey work
- Reading and interpreting plans, specs, and site layouts in the field
- Maintaining accurate field notes and documentation
- Equipment and vehicle maintenance and accountability
- Direct communication with field crews, contractors, and project stakeholders
What It Takes
- 5+ years of hands-on construction surveying experience
- Proven background in construction layout and utility layouts
- Practical experience with Trimble software and GPS equipment (not just exposure)
- Ability to identify and correct measurement errors in the field
- Understanding of staking, monumentation, and marking principles
- Background from an engineering or survey firm preferred
- Comfortable working 90% in the field, Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, plus Saturdays as needed
- Reliable, organized, and able to work independently
- Strong communication skills and willingness to work overtime
- Must be local to Charlotte or within a 65-mile radius
The Role
This is a field-heavy position, roughly 50 hours per week. You will spend your time on job sites conducting surveys, setting stakes, and leading small crews through layout work on site development and utility projects. The work is varied, the pace is steady, and there is a clear path forward: CAD Tech, Field Survey Manager, and Director of Survey roles exist within the organization as the team grows.
