NC Professional Land Surveyor - Future Partner Opportunity

About the Opportunity

This is not your average PLS role. We’re looking for a driven, entrepreneurial-minded North Carolina Professional Land Surveyor who is ready to take on leadership today and ownership tomorrow. Our client, a thriving, mid-sized surveying-only firm, is offering a clear path to partnership, including the potential for a structured buy-in with financial assistance from existing partners.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building equity in the business you help grow, this is your chance.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and manage diverse commercial land development projects, from 10,000-acre tracts on Lake Norman to high-rises in Charlotte, luxury homes on Kiawah Island, and everything in between.
• Work on a wide variety of private-sector projects - no DOT work, no high-pressure highway jobs.
• Collaborate with a talented team of survey professionals
• Contribute to strategic growth decisions and, over time, step into a partner-owner role in the company.

Why This Firm?

• Breadth of Work – From master-planned communities to commercial developments to one-of-a-kind private estates.
• Private Sector Focus – Some occasional government projects under engineers, but no DOT grind.
• Partnership Path – Real opportunity to buy into an S Corp and build wealth alongside seasoned owners.
• Supportive Leadership – A partner is open to assisting with a buy-in loan, making ownership more accessible.
• Strong Reputation – Known for delivering high-quality work across North Carolina and South Carolina, with offices in Charlotte and Charleston.

What We’re Looking For

• Active North Carolina PLS license
• 10+ years of surveying experience, ideally with land development focus
• Strong leadership skills and a desire to help shape the future of the company
• Entrepreneurial mindset - interest in ownership, business growth, and client relationships
• Willingness to invest in your future and the firm’s future

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary + performance incentives
• Partnership track with structured buy-in opportunity
• Benefits package including health, retirement, and paid time off
• Chance to work on projects you’ll be proud to put your name on

If you’re a NC PLS looking for more than just a job and you’re ready to step into a role with real ownership potential this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
