Looking to fill a rodman position in north central Illinois. The majority of work will be construction staking, 40-60 hrs/wk. Any experience is a plus. Definite room for advancement. We are an employee owned company.

I'd also be interested in someone with office and field capabilities.

Please email through my profile. Thanks!

40-60 hrs - Construction staking - That sounds like a nightmare! Good luck! 😉

It's no so bad. The PLS who is the chief on these jobs has been doing it since his army days as an artillery surveyor some 30 odd years ago. He is borderline savant when it comes to doing calcs in his head. Finding a helper who actually shows up to work is the hardest part. I guess the economy is so good, people just don't need to work anymore!

It's 150 miles north of the 4 way, before the Harvestore silo on your right. If you make it to the flashing light - you've gone too far.

Well, we've got offices in LaSalle and Grundy Counties. The construction work spans along the I-80 corridor, about 50 miles north and south, and from about Geneseo to Indiana!

[sarcasm]If you have to ask where North Central Illinois is, you're not from here! :-D[/sarcasm]

Pretty sure I-80 means you're in southern Illinois!

As my father would say when I am running rod and having a tough time zeroing in on the calced point:

"Just like artillery in the Army: One Over, One Under, and One for Effect!"

I was born and raised in LaSalle. Had to look up Big Rock.

That's what I like about surveying, it takes me places I would never otherwise be. When I was living in the real Southern Illinois, I would survey in towns that are a lot less than just a dot on the map.
