Providing advice to clients on property and legal survey matters.
Other duties as required.

What You’ll Bring

Ideally candidates will possess a current Alberta Land Surveyor (ALS) Commission and be in current good standing with ALSA, or an equivalent Canadian provincial land surveying commission with the ability to quickly obtain an ALS commission.
Registered articling students who are close to obtaining their ALS commission will be considered.
5 years’ experience post-commission is preferred; 10 years total experience in surveying, ideally in energy type projects.
Demonstrated experience in Project Management and Business Development, and the ability to deliver projects on time and budget.
