Original job description

About McElhanney

Based in Western Canada for over 110 years, McElhanney offers innovative and practical engineering, surveying, mapping, planning, landscape architecture, and environmental services. As a 100% employee-owned and operated firm, with over 1,500 staff members in 31 locations, we are proud to offer qualified staff with shareholding options in our company. At McElhanney, we work in teams to build strong connections with our staff, clients, and local communities. Our employees enjoy working here because of our varied projects, high levels of autonomy, opportunities for career development, excellent total compensation and benefits package, and collaborating with a team of great professionals.

The Opportunity

Ready to start a career where you can work outdoors, develop technical skills and contribute to projects that shape the communities around you?

McElhanney is looking for a motivated Survey Assistant to join our Edmonton team. This is a great opportunity to begin or develop your career in surveying with an established engineering and surveying consultancy.

No previous surveying experience is required. Whether you're a recent graduate or bring experience from construction, trades or another hands-on environment, you'll work alongside experienced survey professionals to develop practical skills and gain hands-on field experience.

With numerous projects involving multiyear assignments, you'll have opportunities to build your experience across a variety of multidisciplinary projects. McElhanney's Geomatics capabilities include surveying, scanning, RPAS/drone operations, bathymetry, LiDAR, remote sensing, line locating and GIS, offering opportunities to learn new techniques and apply your existing skills across different project environments.

Location: The successful candidate will ideally be based in Edmonton, Alberta, or the surrounding communities. We are also open to considering candidates from other locations who are willing to relocate for the opportunity, particularly those with relevant experience and skills.

Projects You Could Contribute To

Our Edmonton team supports projects across transportation, construction, energy and land development. Depending on project assignments, you may contribute to:

Transportation and Infrastructure: Field surveying supporting roadways, highway improvements and infrastructure construction.
Construction and Land Development: Construction layout, grade staking, site measurements and survey control.
Energy and Utilities: Survey support for industrial facilities, utility infrastructure, pipelines and related projects.
Advanced Surveying and Mapping: Opportunities to gain exposure to scanning, RPAS/drone operations, bathymetry, LiDAR, remote sensing, line locating and GIS.

Working alongside experienced survey professionals, you'll learn how accurate field data supports projects from planning and design through construction.

What You’ll Do

Working under the direction of a Field Supervisor or Party Chief, you’ll support field surveying activities and develop the practical skills needed to grow in the profession.

Assist with setting up and operating a range of survey equipment.
Support field surveys for construction, transportation, energy, land development and other projects.
Help establish stakes, markers, survey control points and other reference points used to guide construction and identify site features.
Learning correct surveying methods and completing some tasks independently under the direction of the party chief or supervisors.
Follow company and client safety procedures, participate in safety meetings and contribute to a safe work environment.
Ask questions and get involved in the daily safety and learn about the survey procedures and how we provide value to our clients.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone with a positive attitude, a strong work ethic and a genuine interest in learning.

High school diploma, technical school education and an understanding of basic surveying is an asset but skills and experience from trades or construction are also relevant.
The physical ability to carry and set up survey equipment and perform field duties safely. Willing to work in varied environmental conditions, able to work in wildlife populated areas, and willing to work in remote areas for extended periods and varied hours.
Must possess and maintain a valid Class 5 driver's licence (or provincial equivalent).
Ability to travel out of town for up to 21 consecutive days, if required.
Good written and verbal communication skills, and general computer knowledge.

What Can We Offer You?

The hourly range for this position is $21 - $26 per hour. McElhanney offers fair compensation that is commensurate with the individual’s education, experience, skills, and professional qualifications. The posted base salary/wage range is representative of the required level of qualifications and experience for the position as noted in the job posting. The salary offered will be based on the experience and qualifications of the successful candidate.

Comprehensive Benefits: Maternity and parental leave top up program, health and dental coverage, RRSP matching, and Employee & Family Assistance Program.
Safe & Inclusive Workplace: A culture of respect and inclusion for all.
Compensation: Attractive total compensation package, annual bonus opportunities, and the opportunity to become part of an employee-owned firm.
Professional Development: Reimbursement of professional dues, educational assistance, mentorship programs, workshops, and committee involvement opportunities.
Career Progression: Support and mentorship to shape a career path that fits your goals.
Project Variety & Long-Term Opportunities: Gain experience across a diverse range of projects while benefiting from multi-year assignments that provide continuity, stability, and opportunities to further develop your skills.

This role is designated as a safety sensitive position.

We celebrate the collective achievements of a team rich in expertise, experiences, and perspectives, and welcome applications from individuals of diverse ethnicities, religions, backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities, aboriginal statuses, various age groups, and those with disabilities.
