This role is for someone who is already leading in some capacity - running crews, guiding field work, helping solve problems - and is ready to take a bigger step. Not just doing the work, but helping shape how it’s delivered and how the team grows.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll play a key role in delivering survey work from field to finish, supporting crews, staying close to projects, and helping ensure things run smoothly across the board.

Along the way, you’ll:

• Lead and support survey crews in the field and office

• Stay close to project performance (scope, schedule, budget)

• Work alongside engineers and clients to keep projects moving

• Help mentor and develop team members

• Contribute to how the team operates and grows in Kansas City

• Be involved in a mix of field work, coordination, and problem-solving

What we’re looking for:

• Experience leading survey crews or coordinating field work

• A few years of experience in land surveying (crew chief, party chief, or similar)

• PLS is a plus, but not required - we’ll support you if it’s a goal

• Comfort working across field and office environments

• Strong communication and problem-solving skills

• A sense of ownership: you care about the work, your team, and doing things the right way

Why OWN

We’re a 100% employee-owned firm, which shows up in how people approach their work and support each other. In practice, that means:

• Real ownership. Your work directly contributes to the company’s success and your future.

• Trust and autonomy. You’re empowered to make decisions without unnecessary layers.

• Growth in Kansas City. This role helps shape where we’re going—not just maintain what exists.

• A path forward. Whether it’s leadership or licensure, we’ll help you get there.

• Strong, low-ego teams. People who support each other and take pride in doing good work.

• Flexibility that’s real. We treat you like a professional and a person.
