Help Build What’s Beneath the Surface
You know the satisfaction of getting it right — when your linework matches the plan and the crew hits grade on the first try.
You’re the kind of surveyor who takes pride in precision, teamwork, and seeing a project come to life from the ground up.
At Complete Utility Contractors, we build the infrastructure most people never see but everyone depends on — underground utilities that keep cities running.
We’re looking for a surveyor who wants to do more than just mark points. Someone who takes ownership of their work and enjoys being part of a crew that values accuracy, safety, and problem-solving on every project.
This role is ideal for a surveyor who is comfortable working directly with civil crews and understands the pace and demands of active construction sites.
