Surveyor Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a surveyor in Ohio?

To become a licensed surveyor in Ohio, you must earn a degree in surveying or a closely related field, complete the required experience hours under a licensed Professional Surveyor, and pass the Fundamentals of Surveying and Principles and Practice of Surveying exams. Licensure is issued by the State of Ohio Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. The licensed Professional Surveyor designation is required to sign and seal survey documents in Ohio.

How much do surveyors make in Ohio?

Surveyors in Ohio earn a median of about $70,620 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,600 for the lowest 10% to over $114,440 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire surveyors in Ohio?

Employers hiring surveyors in Ohio right now include RDSolutions, Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, and Fishbeck, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Ohio's mix of transportation infrastructure projects, commercial development, and municipal boundary work keeps a broad range of engineering and land services firms hiring across the state year-round.

Which Ohio cities have the most surveyor jobs?

Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton have the most surveyor openings in Ohio right now. Columbus drives the highest volume through its rapid commercial and residential development, while Cleveland's infrastructure redevelopment and Cincinnati's proximity to large civil engineering firms in the Tri-State region generate steady demand in those metros.

Are there remote surveyor jobs in Ohio?

Yes, but they're rare. About 40% of surveyor openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the fundamentally field-based nature of most survey work. The portions of the role most suited to remote arrangements are office-bound tasks such as drafting, CAD work, data processing, and project coordination rather than field data collection.

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

The most realistic entry path is a survey technician or field technician role, which large Ohio civil engineering and geomatics firms use to bring on graduates before full licensure. Companies such as Woolpert and ODOT regional offices regularly hire entry-level technicians who are working toward their Fundamentals of Surveying exam. A degree in geomatics, civil engineering technology, or a related field, combined with intern experience from an Ohio university cooperative program, gives candidates a strong edge without a full license in hand.

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