About this role
Morrison-Maierle's Survey Group is looking for a Land Survey Technician to support a range of engineering, boundary, and construction projects across the Boise area. You'll work in the field under the direction of a Professional Land Surveyor, collecting spatial data using equipment like Trimble GNSS systems, robotic total stations, and drones, then processing that data in Trimble Business Center to produce maps and reports.

You should be comfortable with AutoCAD or Civil 3D, have hands-on experience with Trimble systems where possible, and be ready to work outdoors in variable weather while handling equipment up to 50 pounds. Strong communication skills and a valid driver's license are essential, as occasional travel to remote sites is required.
