Surveyor Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a surveyor in Indiana?

You earn licensure through the Indiana State Board of Registration for Land Surveyors, which oversees both the Fundamentals of Surveying and Principles and Practice of Surveying exams administered by NCEES. Candidates typically hold a degree in surveying, geomatics, or civil engineering and complete a supervised experience period under a licensed Professional Land Surveyor before applying for full PLS licensure in Indiana.

How much do surveyors make in Indiana?

Surveyors in Indiana earn a median of about $80,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,260 for the lowest 10% to over $118,760 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire surveyors in Indiana?

Indiana surveyor roles are posted by RDSolutions, Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, and Kimley-Horn and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Indiana's active public infrastructure program and steady residential land development keep a wide range of engineering firms, municipal agencies, and utility contractors posting surveyor openings throughout the year.

Which Indiana cities have the most surveyor jobs?

Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and Lafayette are the Indiana cities with the most surveyor openings. Indianapolis anchors demand through large-scale infrastructure and real estate development, while Fort Wayne and Evansville generate consistent openings tied to regional industrial projects, utility expansion, and public works contracts that require licensed field and boundary surveyors.

Are there remote surveyor jobs in Indiana?

Yes, but they're rare. About 40% of surveyor openings tied to Indiana are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, since most surveyor work requires physical presence in the field. The roles most likely to allow remote hours are GIS analysis, deed research, CAD drafting, and report preparation rather than boundary or construction staking assignments.

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

The most realistic entry point is a survey technician or field crew member role, which large Indiana engineering firms such as Woolpert and Commonwealth Engineers hire without full licensure. Candidates working toward their Fundamentals of Surveying exam gain an immediate edge, and completing an associate or bachelor's degree in surveying or geomatics through Purdue University or Indiana State University strengthens any application for those trainee-level positions.

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

You can find and apply to surveyor jobs in Indiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current Indiana openings. Search the roles that match your experience level and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit your background.
