The position will take an active role in a fast-paced environmental restoration team. A combined background in land surveying, habitat assessment, and fluvial geomorphology is the ideal candidate. Experience using total station and RTK GNSS survey equipment is required. The position's role is critical to providing the supporting data for restoration designs. The position will be heavily field-based working on active restoration sites. Data collection using a variety of techniques with rotating laser, total station and GPS-based surveying gear is at the core of the job duties. Besides the pre-design data collection, the position will also be working on active construction sites performing design layout, collection of as-built elevation and feature data.
