Surveyor Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a surveyor in Missouri?

Becoming a licensed surveyor in Missouri requires passing the licensing process administered by the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, and Professional Geologists. Candidates must complete a qualifying degree in surveying or a related field, accumulate supervised experience, and pass the Fundamentals of Surveying and Principles and Practice of Surveying exams. Missouri also recognizes licensure by endorsement for surveyors already licensed in other states.

How much do surveyors make in Missouri?

Surveyors in Missouri earn a median of about $62,110 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $42,700 for the lowest 10% to over $101,730 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire surveyors in Missouri?

Missouri surveyor roles are posted by RDSolutions, Olsson, and HDR and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Missouri's active construction, infrastructure, and land development sectors keep a broad range of engineering and surveying firms hiring across the state year-round.

Which Missouri cities have the most surveyor jobs?

Kansas City, St. Louis, and Columbia lead Missouri for surveyor openings. St. Louis and Kansas City drive the bulk of demand through large infrastructure projects, commercial development, and the concentration of major engineering firms headquartered or regionally based there, while Springfield supports steady hiring tied to regional construction growth and utility corridor work across southwest Missouri.

Are there remote surveyor jobs in Missouri?

Yes, but they're rare. About 14% of surveyor openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how field-dependent most surveying work is by nature. The portions of the role most suited to remote work include GIS analysis, CAD drafting, report preparation, and data processing, which some employers allow off-site once field collection is complete.

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

The most realistic entry path is a survey technician or field crew position, which large Missouri engineering firms like Terracon and Burns and McDonnell regularly fill with candidates who hold an associate degree or are enrolled in a surveying program. Gaining experience with GPS equipment and CAD software, even through coursework, strengthens your application. Missouri's community colleges with geomatics or civil technology programs are recognized by local employers as a practical credential for candidates starting out.
