So, here’s how we work. We all get together (and we mean everyone  from every needed specialty) to shape an idea. You’ll have an engineer  around the table with a landscape architect, a surveyor, maybe even a  traffic engineer. From this invigorating first moment of creativity, we  are shaping something. This is a chance to learn and advance your land  surveying skills in a dynamic environment with some incredible peers who  are there to teach and inspire and learn from you. We’re looking for someone who has 2+ years experience, so  if you have a two-year degree or comparable experience, practice in  being a good listener, and the ability and desire to collaborate and  learn inside the collective, you better just go ahead and submit an  application. We can’t wait to meet you!

We currently are seeking candidates for Survey Technicians to work out of our Bridgton, Sanford, and/or South Portland locations. 

Typical Duties and Responsibilities:This  is our outline to provide points of clarity. While it’s not exhaustive,  these are good specifics to be aware of. However, do not let this list  guide your decision to apply.  We would love to hear from you even if  you do not have all of these skills and knowledge areas. Together, we  shape the new owner and teammate experience with thoughtful training and  ever-present peer support.

• Being familiar with proper  procedures for the care, cleaning and use of a variety of surveying  tools and equipment, including field radios.
• Know how to  operate, check and perform basic field adjustments on transits,  theodolite, EDMI, total stations, total electronic station, data  collectors, levels, compass, tribrachs, and tripods. Includes repeating  observations and steel taping. 
• Perform mathematical checks of trigonometry, geometry, algebra, coordinate geometry, and basic surveying computations. 
• Have a working knowledge of hand-held calculators is important. 
• Be able to perform traverse and level loop computations including closure, precision determination and adjustment computations. 
• Be  familiar with taping corrections, basic principles of measurement, EDMI  baseline comparison computations, error propagation, and astronomic  azimuth determination. 
• Perform and/or check lot, area, and intersection (bearing-bearing, distance-distance, bearing-distance) computations. 
• Have a general understanding of land use regulations as they relate to lot and site development.

This  is a great opportunity to work on an extremely diverse array of  projects as a co-owner and co-creator of this team. We respect people,  so we offer an excellent work environment, competitive salaries, and  great benefits. We don’t ever stop providing opportunities for  professional and personal growth while working for our collective  success as we shape together.

Sebago  Technics embraces diversity and equal opportunity.  We are committed to  building a team of employee-owners that is inclusive and represents our  community in terms of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more  inclusive we are, the better our work will be.  As such, all employment  is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need; we  encourage all applicants regardless of race, religion, color, national  origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression,  age, veteran status, disability, or other applicable legally protected  characteristics.
