Surveyor Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a surveyor in Maryland?
To become a licensed surveyor in Maryland, you must earn a degree in surveying or a related field, gain qualifying experience under a licensed professional, and pass the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying exams including the Fundamentals of Surveying and Principles and Practice of Surveying. The Maryland Board for Professional Land Surveyors oversees licensure. Candidates who hold an active license in another state may apply for reciprocal licensure in Maryland.
How much do surveyors make in Maryland?
Surveyors in Maryland earn a median of about $64,910 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $44,110 for the lowest 10% to over $166,400 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire surveyors in Maryland?
Maryland surveyor roles are posted by Tesla, Michels, and SOLTESZ and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Maryland's concentration of federal facilities, highway projects, and ongoing development in the Baltimore-Washington corridor means demand is spread across government contractors, civil engineering firms, and state agencies.
Which Maryland cities have the most surveyor jobs?
Baltimore, Rockville, and Sparks account for the most surveyor openings in Maryland. Baltimore drives the largest share through its port infrastructure, urban redevelopment, and proximity to major civil engineering firms, while the suburban Washington corridor in Montgomery and Prince George's counties generates steady demand from federal contractors and transportation agencies managing regional transit and highway expansion.
Are there remote surveyor jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're rare. Surveying is a predominantly field-based profession that requires physical presence at project sites for measurements, boundary work, and construction staking. About 67% of surveyor openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to involve office-side work such as drafting, CAD production, data processing, or project coordination rather than hands-on fieldwork.
How can I get hired as a surveyor in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a survey technician or field crew member role, which larger Maryland civil engineering and government contracting firms use to bring in candidates who are still completing their degree or working toward licensure. Firms such as state highway contractors and federal facility contractors in the Baltimore and suburban D.C. areas regularly hire at this level. Completing the Fundamentals of Surveying exam early and building CAD or GIS skills gives candidates a clear edge over applicants with no credentials.
