Job DescriptionDescription:
MNS Engineers, Inc. (MNS) is a fast-growing profitable multi-service infrastructure consulting firm offering planning, construction management, civil engineering, and surveying services throughout California. With nine offices throughout California, the Company has provided services to the transportation, water resources, government services, and federal markets for over 60 years. We are well positioned in the marketplace, and on a trajectory to continue our geographic services expansion.
MNS is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Assistant Project Surveyor to support a wide range of public infrastructure projects across California. This role will contribute to the success of our Survey team by providing essential support related to boundary and topographic mapping, construction staking, monument preservation, data processing, legal description preparation, and coordination of field and office workflows. This role also includes exposure to public agency submittals, private development review, and the implementation of emerging technologies. This is primarily an office-based role, with remote flexibility. While our team is open to candidate location, applicants must be willing to work standard office hours (pacific time) to support our California-based projects. Coordination with our field crews are essential to the success of our deliverables. The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys problem-solving through research and data evaluation, and is excited to grow their career in professional land surveying.

That translates into a more flexible, entrepreneurial environment where individual contributions have a real impact, while still benefiting from the resources and reach of larger organizations.
