Entry Level Survey Technician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level survey technician job?
Start by building hands-on experience through internships, field crews, or college survey programs. Employers at this level look for familiarity with total stations, GPS equipment, and data collection software. A solid academic background in geomatics, civil engineering technology, or a related field helps, and any experience with CAD software or fieldwork documentation gives candidates a clear edge over those without it.
Which companies hire entry level survey technicians?
Companies hiring entry level survey technicians right now include WSB, Atwell, and Davey Tree, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from engineering and construction firms, land surveying companies, and infrastructure consultancies that actively bring on new graduates to train alongside licensed surveyors.
Are there remote entry level survey technician jobs?
Yes, though most survey technician work is field-based by nature. About 0% of entry level survey technician openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically involve GIS data processing, drafting, or office-side data management rather than on-site fieldwork.

A new grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or coursework experience in lieu of full-time history, and may mention on-the-job training. If you have a relevant degree or a portfolio of field or mapping work, you're a strong candidate for these roles.
Which industries hire the most entry level survey technicians?
Entry Level survey technician roles concentrate in Energy, Agriculture & Farming, and Chemicals & Materials, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
