Survey CAD Technician (Civil 3D)

About the role
Job Description:
Johnston's Surveying is looking for a Survey CAD Technician for our Oviedo office. This is a drafting seat, not entry-level — we need someone who's already worked survey data in Civil 3D and knows the difference between a boundary drawing and a topo.
What you'll be doing:
- Processing field data into base maps, boundary surveys, topographic surveys, and ALTA/NSPS surveys
- Building and editing drawings in AutoCAD Civil 3D (Carlson experience a plus)
- Working directly with field crews and project surveyors to resolve data issues before they become drawing problems
- Managing multiple projects at different stages at once — this isn't a one-drawing-at-a-time job
What you need:
- 2+ years CAD experience specific to land surveying (not just general drafting)
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D — Carlson Survey is a plus, not a requirement
- Comfortable reading and applying legal descriptions, plats, and deed research
- Central Florida survey experience preferred — you know the counties, you know the quirks
What we offer:
- Full-time, in-office
- Established firm, steady project pipeline, no bench time between jobs Johnston's Surveying has been doing land surveying in Central Florida for decades. We're growing and this seat is open because the work is there, not because someone just quit.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
