Employment

Major employers:

  • Engineering and surveying companies
  • Local and state government agencies

Outlook

Demand for this career is expected to grow about as fast as average. Surveyors will continue to be needed to certify boundary lines, work on resource extraction projects, and review sites for construction. However, drone technology will severely limit growth.

Opportunities will be best for surveyors who have at least a bachelor's degree and strong technical skills. Job openings will continue to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other careers or leave the labor force.
