How Long is Too Long? PLS's are hard to find

dleidigh · 2021-08-31T16:14:00Z

Figured the training area would be best place to post this, but I suppose the employment area would have worked as well.?ÿ I wanted to get outside takes on the situation we've been experiencing in a municipality in the Denver Metro Area.?ÿ I was hired back in June 2020 in what I figured (somewhat foolishly at the time) would be the "middle" of the pandemic.?ÿ Hired in as a survey tech into a 4-person survey group.?ÿ PLS retired at the end of the year and we have yet to fill that position.?ÿ Yup, 9 months later, still no LS.?ÿ Needless to say, we've been using an on-call for boundary determinations, but my main concern is that as someone interested in licensure I can't gain experience under an LS.?ÿ The Party Chief and other Technician have loads of experience, but that does little to quell my need for experience under an LS, as spelled out in the statutes and desire for learning under an LS and having more of a mentorship experience.?ÿ How long would you wait before looking to move on??ÿ As fun as construction staking is, my desire is to learn and know more about boundary surveying.?ÿ?ÿ To give you a sense, I'm about 6 months out from sitting for my FS, have passed CST level 1, planning on continuing along the CST track and have my FAA part 107.

I'll just keep pluggin' away with what I can do on my own.?ÿ Still have 8 to 10 weeks back log of work and starting to schedule for next spring after the snow breaks in March.

Yup, I am now 6-8 months.

?ÿI??m the charactor blue vest and sunglasses in the upper right.?ÿ

Doyle's tie is no where near outlandish enough in that drawing.?ÿ?ÿ
