Job description:
Solar Site Surveyor (Field Technician)
Job Type: 1099 Independent Contractor
Solar Site Surveyor — Pittsburgh, PA (Part-Time / Flexible)
Company: Homex Home Services Location: Erie, PA (and surrounding areas) Job Type: Part-time, Flexible Schedule Pay: $100 per completed survey
About the Role
Homex Home Services is looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Solar Site Surveyor to conduct pre-installation site assessments for solar customers throughout the Pittsburgh, PA area. This is a flexible, part-time opportunity — perfect for someone who wants control over their own schedule and enjoys being out in the field rather than behind a desk. Pick up as many or as few surveys as fit your availability.
What You'll Do
- Travel to customer homes in and around Pittsburgh, PA to complete on-site solar surveys ahead of installation
- Assess and photograph the roof (type, condition, pitch, and layout) to confirm solar panel placement
- Inspect and document the electrical panel, meter, and main service equipment
- Check attic access and take measurements needed for wiring and mounting
- Note any shading obstructions (trees, chimneys, vents) that could affect panel performance
- Accurately record measurements and site conditions using a smartphone or tablet
- Communicate professionally and courteously with homeowners during each visit
- Submit completed survey reports promptly after each appointment
- Represent Homex Home Services with a professional appearance and positive attitude
What We're Looking For
- Valid driver's license and reliable personal vehicle
- Willingness to travel to residential locations throughout the Erie, PA area
- Comfortable getting into attics and on/around rooftops as needed to complete assessments
- Comfortable using a smartphone or tablet to take photos and complete digital forms
- Strong attention to detail and accurate measurement skills
- Punctual, dependable, and self-motivated — you'll often be working independently
- Prior experience in solar, electrical, roofing, or construction is a plus, but not required
Required Tools
Surveyors must supply their own basic tools:
- Pitch gauge — to measure roof pitch/slope at each roof plane surveyed
- Tape measure — for roof plane, obstruction, and main service panel/equipment clearance measurements
- Telescopic ladder (16.5 ft or longer) — for safe roof access on single-story and most two-story homes
- Screwdriver set — for removing panel covers and accessing equipment for inspection/photos
An S-5 tool (for verifying standing-seam metal roof clamp compatibility) is not needed for every survey — we can mail one to you ahead of a scheduled metal-roof job.
Bonus: Experience flying a drone for roof/site imagery is a plus, but not required.
Pay & Schedule
- $100 paid per completed solar site survey
- Paid weekly, every Friday
- Flexible schedule
- Great fit for supplemental income or those balancing other commitments

Who's Hiring
Top Industries Hiring
- Consulting & Professional Services
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in site surveyor jobs.
- Experience with total stations, GPS/GNSS equipment, and data collectors in field environments
- Proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD Civil 3D or Carlson Survey for drawing production
- Associate or bachelor's degree in surveying technology, geomatics, or civil engineering technology
- Active Professional Land Surveyor license or documented progress toward licensure
- Ability to read and interpret legal descriptions, plats, deeds, and construction drawings
- Physical ability to work outdoors in varied terrain and weather conditions for extended periods
Tips for Your Site Surveyor Job Search
List your instrument certifications explicitly
Hiring managers scan for specific equipment experience before reading anything else. Name the total stations, GPS rovers, and data collectors you've used, including the manufacturer and model where you remember it. Generic phrases like 'survey equipment' get skimmed past.
Tailor your resume to the project type
A boundary surveyor resume reads differently than one for a construction layout role. Pull the project types from each job posting and match them to your own project history. Reviewers notice when your experience mirrors what they're hiring for.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists site surveyor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Get your licensing status interview-ready
Know exactly where you stand on licensure before any call. If you're working toward your Professional Land Surveyor license, state which states you've passed exams in and your expected certification date. Vague answers about 'in progress' licensing lose ground to candidates who can be specific.
Prepare field scenario answers in advance
Site surveyor interviews frequently involve real project problems: how you'd handle a traverse that won't close, conflicting deed calls, or a layout that conflicts with as-built conditions. Prepare two or three concrete examples from your own fieldwork so you're not constructing answers under pressure.
Negotiate relocation terms before accepting
Many site surveyor openings require travel or project-site relocation. Before accepting an offer, confirm whether per diem, mileage, or temporary housing is included, and get it in writing. Verbal assurances on travel terms frequently cause friction after the first month on the job.
Site Surveyor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most site surveyors?
Tesla, XYZ Reality, and GeoSearch are hiring the most site surveyors right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, California, and Arizona, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is highest on active infrastructure and land development projects.
How many site surveyor jobs are remote?
About 56% of site surveyor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how field-dependent most of the role is. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are office-based drafting, CAD production, and project coordination rather than field data collection.
How do you become a site surveyor?
Start with an associate or bachelor's degree in surveying technology or geomatics, then gain field experience as a survey technician or rodman to learn instrument operation and data collection. Most states require you to log a set number of supervised field hours under a licensed Professional Land Surveyor before you can sit for the licensing exams. Passing the Fundamentals of Surveying exam followed by the Principles and Practice of Surveying exam earns you full licensure.
Can I get hired as a site surveyor with little experience?
Entry-level site surveyor roles exist and are often titled survey technician, survey crew member, or rodman. Employers hiring at this level prioritize physical readiness for fieldwork, basic familiarity with GPS equipment or CAD software, and a relevant degree or technical certificate. Demonstrating that you understand traverse math and can read a legal description puts you ahead of candidates who only have general construction backgrounds.
What does the site surveyor interview process look like?
Most site surveyor interviews involve a phone screen focused on your equipment experience and licensing status, followed by a technical interview where you may be asked to walk through how you would handle a specific field problem such as a closure error or a boundary conflict. Some employers add a brief practical component or ask you to review a plat and explain what you see before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to site surveyor jobs?
You can find and apply to site surveyor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, project type, and location, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
