We are a small surveying company in Beacon, NY that has a focus on municipal and commercial surveying work. We still do a decent amount of residential surveys but we mostly work with engineers on transportation, infrastructure, construction, and development projects. Right now the firm is mainly comprised of myself and two other full time employees. We also bring in a few other people when we get busy on a part time basis. Recently we won a few large projects and we are bidding and winning bigger and bigger projects for local municipalities and engineers. So we've reached a point where we need to hire another full time employee.
We're looking for someone who has some education in surveying and/or engineering to work both on both field and office projects. The person does not have to be fully proficient in both, we can train the right person, but some experience in both is preferred. Our overall goal is to train someone to be able to manage and conduct a small project such as a residential or small engineering project from beginning to end. General job duties will include field work (often solo but sometimes on a crew), research, data processing, and drafting.
We also just purchased a new Leica MS50 instrument and now have scanning capabilities. We intend to train whomever we hire to process and work with scan data as we grow that market.
Some overnight travel may be required but not much if any. We also get a fair amount of prevailing wage projects.
Please check out our website for some more information about us (www.tecls.com). If you are interested in the position please send your resume with a cover letter to tomc @ tec land surveying.com

Be careful how you advertise the Leica MS50. You have to wonder about 746.285
All instruments and DC's will report to just about whatever decimal you want. It's up to us to know how to use that data and to know how accurate it really is.
Since we've had the piece of equipment we have been very happy with it. We've used the imaging quite a bit and we have a project coming up where we have to shoot and photo every possible encroachment over 15 miles of boundary. Here we have a 1 second instrument that we can set to take a photo on every side shot automatically. We also have to map (to sub foot) numerous concrete and earthen structures on both sides of some big creeks (ie can't walk across). With this we will scan the structures on the far side of the creek whenever possible. Not to mention that it turns angles about 3 times faster than our 1205 instrument.
It's an advanced tool...it's up to us to understand how to use it and to understand it's limits.

lol....:good:
It's great to hear that business is getting better in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
Your ROW project reminds me of a survey we did back around 1970 or so. Some developer wanted to build something on Route 9 in Hyde Park near the FDR NHS. There was an ordinance that you couldn't build anything commercial within 100 feet or the ROW with a certain distance from the NHS entrance, and the developer claimed that he was being unfairly singled out(he was.....the ordinance was not rigidly enforced over the years).
Soooo, we had to go out and locate everything along the road for about two miles. The project included fast food joints, motels, retail malls and a drive-in theater, so we had to locate all the posts for the speakers.
P.S., I don't think he every got a permit to build, but I was up there recently and most everything we had located is still there.

I couldn't agree more, and One might think that mindset would start with the sales department of the Manufacturer. It is manufacturers like these that simply want to sell equipment.
Manufacturers like these will sell the equipment to a lay person that believes that your consulting fees are too high. Then you will find yourself competing with that "lay person".
Be careful of Manufacturers that pull these stunts.
