The Opportunity
KPFF Consulting Engineers is seeking an experienced Survey Project Manager to join our Los Angeles Survey team. This is a primarily office-based opportunity for a survey professional who enjoys managing projects, providing technical leadership, building client relationships, and mentoring team members.
Established in Los Angeles in 1968, KPFF has contributed to projects that shape communities throughout Southern California. Our Survey team provides land surveying and mapping services for projects of all sizes, working closely with KPFF's civil engineering teams as well as external clients. Our services include boundary and topographic surveys, ALTA/NSPS land title surveys, construction staking, aerial surveys, subdivision and parcel maps, condominium plans, vertical airspace maps, legal descriptions, and laser scanning.
As a Survey Project Manager, you will oversee multiple projects of varying size, scope, and duration, from short-term assignments to complex, multi-year engagements. You'll be responsible for technical quality, project schedules and budgets, client coordination, and providing guidance to survey team members.
Our team has a strong pipeline of ongoing work, much of which supports KPFF's civil engineering projects. While opportunities exist to develop client relationships and contribute to new business, the primary focus of this position is successfully managing projects, delivering high-quality work, and supporting the team's continued growth.
This is a primarily office-based position, with occasional site visits as needed. Our Los Angeles team follows a hybrid schedule of three days in the office and two days working remotely following an initial training period. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are preferred in-office days, with flexibility in selecting the third day.
