Survey Crew Chief
At Wilson Surveying a Survey Crew Chief is expected to manage the survey technicians assigned to fieldwork, and to take responsibility for the vehicles and equipment used by the field crews, to minimize time lost to vehicle and equipment failure and repair. That includes testing the tools to assure proper adjustment, etc. The vehicles are expected to be clean and neat to demonstrate the company's image. Wilson expects to provide minimal supervision, and expects that one of the Professional Surveyors will supervise the Survey Crew Chief’s professional work.
     In addition to the above, the Survey Crew Chief is the company’s face in the field. Wilson expects proper attire, compliance with safety standards, and courteous interaction with the public. Public relations is important to the company’s future and reputation, and the Survey Crew Chief is expected to improve the company’s reputation at every opportunity. Top-quality fieldwork is also expected, which includes excellent notes and digital records of the work.

The ability to use Civil 3D or Carlson software to produce survey drawings is a plus. The Survey Crew Chief is expected to know the scope of the work, and to understand when the client requests (in the field) work beyond the scope. The Survey Crew Chief represents the company in those circumstances and is expected to complete a reasonable level of work after discussing additional fees, and to schedule additional work that is not reasonable to complete while in the field that day.
