Surveyor Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a surveyor in Florida?
To become a licensed surveyor in Florida, you must earn licensure as a Professional Surveyor and Mapper (PSM) through the Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers, which is administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The path typically requires a degree in surveying or a closely related field, documented field experience working under a licensed PSM, and passing both the national Fundamentals of Surveying exam and the Florida-specific Principles and Practice of Surveying exam.
How much do surveyors make in Florida?
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 surveyors in Florida?
Employers hiring surveyors in Florida right now include Prince Contracting, RDSolutions, and Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's ongoing land development, road widening programs, and coastal infrastructure projects keep engineering and surveying firms of all sizes actively recruiting across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most surveyor jobs?
The cities with the most surveyor openings in Florida are Orlando, Tampa, and Sarasota. This distribution reflects where large-scale development and infrastructure investment is most concentrated: Orlando and Tampa anchor Florida's inland growth corridors, while Miami's density of development projects, port expansion work, and commercial construction keeps demand strong for surveyors with urban and coastal expertise.
Are there remote surveyor jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Surveying is fundamentally a field-based profession, and most roles require on-site work for boundary delineation, construction staking, or topographic data collection. About 37% of surveyor openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve office-side work such as drafting, legal description writing, or plat preparation rather than fieldwork.
How can I get hired as a surveyor in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a survey technician or field crew position, which larger Florida engineering firms like Kimley-Horn and Atkins regularly fill with candidates who hold an associate degree or are working toward a bachelor's in surveying or geomatics. Community colleges such as St. Johns River State College offer geomatics programs that Florida employers recognize. Candidates who have completed coursework in CAD drafting or GIS, or who hold an Engineering Intern credential, have a clear advantage when competing for these ground-floor roles.
Where can I find and apply to surveyor jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to surveyor jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and specialty, then apply directly to the positions that fit.
