Stop chasing random jobs. Come build real infrastructure.
PrimECS is looking for a Survey Rodman / Instrument Person to support layout and field survey on heavy civil projects across the DMV (roads, utilities, concrete, earthwork). If you take pride in accuracy and don’t need someone babysitting you every 5 minutes, keep reading.
What You’ll Do
Support layout and staking for utilities, grading, concrete, and structures
Run and assist with total stations, GPS/GNSS, and levels
Set hubs, stakes, and control points from plans and coordinates
Work directly with the Party Chief and field crews to keep work on line and on grade
Collect as-built data and keep field notes clean and usable
Catch mistakes before they become expensive problems
What We Expect
1–3 years of field survey or construction layout experience
You can read plans, elevations, and cut sheets without guessing
You show up on time, ready to work; no excuses
You understand that 1 wrong stake can cost thousands
Comfortable working outside in real conditions (heat, cold, mud, traffic)
What Helps You Stand Out
Experience on DOT, rail, or utility projects
Familiar with Trimble, Leica, or similar equipment
OSHA 10/30
What You Get
Steady work on real infrastructure projects—not patchwork jobs
A team that actually uses survey correctly (not as an afterthought)
Opportunity to grow into Party Chief or higher-level field/office roles
