Land Surveyor Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a land surveyor in Texas?

You become a licensed land surveyor in Texas by earning registration as a Registered Professional Land Surveyor, or RPLS, through the Texas Board of Professional Land Surveying. The path requires a degree in surveying or a closely related field, a set number of supervised experience hours under a licensed RPLS, and passing both the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying Fundamentals of Surveying and the Principles and Practice of Surveying exams.

How much do land surveyors make in Texas?

Land surveyors in Texas earn a median of about $61,150 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $42,450 for the lowest 10% to over $107,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire land surveyors in Texas?

Employers hiring land surveyors in Texas right now include Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, HFW Companies, and Kimley-Horn, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's active oil and gas, transportation, and residential development sectors mean large engineering and consulting firms maintain ongoing surveying teams across the state year-round.

Which Texas cities have the most land surveyor jobs?

San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas have the most land surveyor openings in Texas. Houston's scale as an energy and petrochemical hub drives heavy demand for pipeline and industrial surveys, Dallas-Fort Worth's rapid commercial and residential development supports large surveying teams, and Austin's sustained infrastructure growth generates consistent construction staking and boundary work.

Are there remote land surveyor jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of land surveyor openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the field-intensive nature of most surveying work. The roles most likely to allow remote hours are office-based positions focused on CAD drafting, legal description writing, or plat review rather than fieldwork.

How can I get hired as a land surveyor in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a survey technician or field crew position, which large Texas engineering firms like Halff Associates, Terracon, and Freese and Nichols hire for without requiring licensure. Texas A&M, UT Austin, and several community colleges offer surveying technology programs whose graduates firms recruit directly. Completing your Fundamentals of Surveying exam early and logging supervised hours under a licensed RPLS while working as a technician is the standard ladder into a full RPLS role.

Where can I find and apply to land surveyor jobs in Texas?
