Land Surveyor Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a land surveyor in Florida?
To become a licensed land surveyor in Florida, you must earn licensure as a Professional Surveyor and Mapper through the Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers under the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The path requires a qualifying degree or combination of education and supervised field experience, followed by passing the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying fundamentals and principles exams. Most Florida employers require full licensure for independent survey work.
How much do land surveyors make in Florida?
Land surveyors in Florida earn a median of about $65,480 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,160 for the lowest 10% to over $121,360 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire land surveyors in Florida?
Employers hiring land surveyors in Florida right now include Haley Ward, Nexgen Enterprises, and Miami Dade County, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's steady pipeline of residential development, transportation, and coastal infrastructure projects keeps demand for survey professionals consistent across both large national engineering firms and regional practices.
Which Florida cities have the most land surveyor jobs?
Fort Myers, Miami, and Tampa have the most land surveyor openings in Florida right now. Orlando and Tampa drive volume through large-scale residential development and transportation infrastructure, while Miami generates consistent demand from dense urban construction, port work, and coastal surveys tied to South Florida's ongoing development activity.
Are there remote land surveyor jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Land surveying is largely a field-based role requiring physical presence on site, so most positions are on-site or travel-dependent. About 29% of land surveyor openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be office-side functions such as CAD drafting, deed research, or project coordination rather than active field survey work.
How can I get hired as a land surveyor in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a survey technician or field crew member role, which large Florida engineering firms like Kimley-Horn and Michael Baker International hire for without requiring full licensure. Community college programs in surveying technology across Florida, including those at St. Johns River State College, provide foundational credentials that improve candidacy. Building hours toward Florida's Professional Surveyor and Mapper licensure while working as a technician is the standard progression, and familiarity with GPS equipment or CAD software gives newer applicants a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to land surveyor jobs in Florida?
