About The Position

Bowman is hiring a Survey CAD Technician II to join its team in Etna, New Hampshire. The position assists with preparing project deliverables and contract documents according to company design standards and client requirements. The technician works under moderate supervision, receives direction on moderately complex assignments, and has work reviewed by senior staff.

The technician converts survey and other applicable information into accurate electronic drawings and project documents; performs horizontal computations for boundary surveys and analyzes field and record information to determine property lines; drafts house location surveys; computes horizontal positions for construction stakeouts; checks record plats and submits plots to the county for review.
