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

McElhanney is seeking a motivated individual to join our team as a Geomatics Technologist/Survey Technologist in South Vancouver Island at a junior to intermediate level. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to gain hands on surveying experience with a multidisciplinary team. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work alongside a team of Land Surveyors and Survey Technologists as well as Civil Engineers and Technologists on a variety of legal, topographic, engineering and construction projects.

Depending on your experience and career goals, this can be primarily a field-based position or, alternatively, a position that combines both office and field survey work. You will provide field survey services using conventional survey methods but may also work with Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS, a.k.a. drones), LiDAR (statics and mobile, terrestrial, and aerial), bathymetric systems, and more.

Live, Work and Play in Victoria

Victoria offers a fantastic array of culture from academia to arts to outdoors/beach lifestyles. An historic provincial capital, Victoria has all of the amenities of a large city, but the friendly community feel that defines Vancouver Island. Victoria offers the most temperate climate in all of Canada, with less rain and more sun than other cities on the West Coast.

Our Victoria branch offers a wide array of McElhanney services including land development, municipal and structural engineering, land surveying and environmental consulting, working on projects both locally and in the greater Vancouver Island region.

What You’ll Do

Work as part of a Field Crew, preparing accurate notes, sketches and field data.
Conduct conventional and GPS field surveys.
Interpret field data to create accurate survey drawings and legal plans. This will include downloading and editing field data, interpreting field notes and sketches, processing conventional and GNSS data, and preparing drawing deliverables.
Interpret Architectural and Engineering drawings for layout and as-built survey purposes.
Liaising with Project Managers and clients regarding project scope and enquiries.
Implementing quality assurance on all field returns and office deliverables.

What You’ll Bring

Two-year technical diploma in Geomatics and /or previous experience in a similar role.
Experience with RPAS systems including basic and advanced pilot license is a strong asset.
Experience with AutoCAD Civil3D, Trimble Business Centre and Trimble Access is a strong asset.
Physically fit, able to work in wildlife populated areas, and willing to work in remote areas for extended periods and varied hours.
Knowledge of survey and boundary calculation, geodetic coordinate systems and map projections.
Basic understanding of the BC Land Titles system.
Strong communication skills.
Adherence to corporate safety policies and reporting.
Valid driver’s license required.
Ability to work independently to complete tasks and meet deadlines in a timely manner.

What Can We Offer You?

The salary range for this position is $60,000 - $90,000 per annum. 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 including a generous bonus plan.
Professional Development: Reimbursement for dues, educational assistance, mentorship program, workshops, and committee involvement.
Career Progression: Support and mentorship to shape a career path that fits your goals.
Relocation Support: Financial assistance if applicable.

This role is designated as a safety sensitive position.
