Survey Manager - South Central District

As a Survey Manager, you will be a key contributor to the establishment and maintenance of safe, accurate, and efficient survey operations across major infrastructure projects in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. You will be responsible for overseeing contractual requirements, reviewing design models, and managing field survey operations, with approximately 30% of your time spent in the field observing and instructing survey teams to ensure precision and compliance. Your work supports strategic initiatives that include the expansion of AI data centers, the development of large-scale energy facilities, and the enhancement of community resilience. These efforts are being led in close collaboration between our Infrastructure and Power groups, with a shared focus on utility infrastructure development. Your leadership ensures that survey operations are executed with accuracy and efficiency, contributing to the successful delivery of reliable, future-ready infrastructure across the South-Central region.

Kiewit's South Central District is one of Kiewit's leading infrastructure districts specializing in heavy civil, transportation, and water resource markets. Projects you could be working on could include mass grading, drainage, paving, utility and more. Although most of our work is regionally based in the south-central region of the United States, we also pursue various projects stretching across the United States. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about infrastructure and committed to the construction industry as opposed to design.

One of the many things that makes Kiewit's culture unique is that we go where the work is, which exposes your career to abundant opportunities. We relocate our teams based on the work that is available, combined with the development plans, skill sets and career goals of each team member. This means your Kiewit adventure is custom-designed to meet our shared needs.
