Surveyor Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a surveyor in Arizona?

Becoming a licensed surveyor in Arizona requires registration through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration. Candidates typically earn a degree in surveying or geomatics, then complete required field experience before sitting for the Fundamentals of Surveying and Principles and Practice of Surveying exams. Arizona follows national exam standards administered through NCEES. Once licensed as a Professional Land Surveyor, you can independently certify survey work across the state.

How much do surveyors make in Arizona?

Surveyors in Arizona earn a median of about $77,490 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,940 for the lowest 10% to over $110,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire surveyors in Arizona?

Employers hiring surveyors in Arizona right now include Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, Jobot, and RDSolutions, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Arizona's sustained construction and infrastructure investment keeps demand from both private engineering firms and public-sector agencies steady throughout the year.

Which Arizona cities have the most surveyor jobs?

Phoenix, Tucson, and Tempe have the most surveyor openings in Arizona. Phoenix drives the largest share of listings due to its scale as a development hub with major commercial, residential, and transportation projects, while Tucson and Scottsdale generate consistent demand from regional engineering firms, municipal projects, and land development activity in the surrounding corridors.

Are there remote surveyor jobs in Arizona?

Yes, but they're rare. Surveying is fundamentally field-based work, so most positions require on-site presence for data collection, stakeout, and boundary verification. About 71% of surveyor openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of September 2026. The roles most likely to carry remote components are office-bound tasks such as drafting, data processing, and report preparation rather than field survey work.

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

The most realistic entry path is a survey technician or field technician role, which large Arizona engineering firms and public works departments regularly hire for without requiring a full license. Pursuing an intern or technician position at firms operating across the Phoenix metro or with Maricopa County gives hands-on exposure to field methods. Enrolling in an Arizona community college geomatics program or beginning the NCEES Fundamentals of Surveying exam process while working strengthens candidacy considerably.

Where can I find and apply to surveyor jobs in Arizona?

You can find and apply to surveyor jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across experience levels and specialties. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to employers without any extra steps.
