About The Position

ProtechGeo Surveying Ltd. is a new startup based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Our Survey team has decades of combined experience and expertise serving clients throughout Alberta. We are seeking a motivated Survey Drafter responsible for preparing survey plans and documents that support land development and infrastructure projects in Alberta. Working closely with an Alberta Land Surveyor, you will ensure that plans align with the requests of various municipalities, government entities, engineering firms, contractors and landowners while adhering to the rigorous standards of regulatory agencies, including the Alberta Land Surveyors Association, Alberta Energy Regulator, Alberta Environment and Parks, and the Alberta Land Titles system.

Requirements

Diploma or certificate in Geomatics, Survey Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, or a related field; your formal foundation in the discipline.
Hands-on experience with survey drafting and CAD software (AutoCAD experience is a strong asset).
Working knowledge of survey principles, coordinate systems, and legal survey processes.
A solid grasp of Alberta Land Survey regulations and standards, or a genuine eagerness to master them.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
Sharp attention to detail and strong organizational instincts, the kind that catches a half-degree error before it becomes a legal headache.

Nice To Haves

AutoCAD experience is a strong asset.

Responsibilities

Draft survey plans, Real Property Reports (RPRs), subdivision plans, reference plans, and other legal survey documents; the paperwork that legally defines property lines, easements, and land use across Alberta.
Take raw field survey data collected by crews and transform it into clean, accurate, submission-ready deliverables.
Build and refine plans in AutoCAD, while sharpening templates that get more precise with every project.
Dig into land titles, historical survey plans, easements, rights-of-way, and legal descriptions, becoming a bit of a land-records detective along the way.
Make sure every drawing complies with Alberta Land Surveyors' Association standards, municipal requirements, and provincial legislation, so nothing gets kicked back at approval.
Crunch the numbers: coordinates, areas, bearings, and distances, calculated with precision every time.
Keep project records, drawing files, and survey databases organized, current, and audit-ready.
Partner with surveyors on plan revisions, submissions, and quality control reviews, sharpening your judgment alongside theirs.
Be the connective tissue between survey crews, project managers, engineers, and clients; spotting and solving drafting issues before they become project delays.
Give every finished plan one last, sharp-eyed review for accuracy, completeness, and consistency before it goes out the door.
