Survey Manager/Modeler - Infrastructure

Position Overview

Kiewit is consistently ranked in the top 10 of the Top 400 Contractors according to Engineering News-Record. We have built many of North America’s most iconic construction projects throughout history and have earned a reputation as industry experts in several diverse construction and engineering markets. Because of this and the flexibility in our geographical and technical capabilities, there is no shortage of work or opportunities.  We are adding a Land Survey Manager to our staff in Colorado to support the region  - focusing primarily on projects in Water/Wastewater and Transportation.  As a Land Survey Manager, you will play an integral role in establishing and maintaining methods for a safe, accurate and efficient Survey Department. You will have responsibilities over contractual requirements, design model review and field survey operations, and should plan to spend about 50% of your time in the field supporting new and existing projects.  You will be expected to work both in the field, overseeing survey crews/subcontractors as well as work in the office.  This is an addition to our staff to lead Survey Teams around the state of Colorado, and other states as we win other work.  We offer stability, versatile markets to work in, relocation and excellent benefits! 

District Overview

Kiewit’s Central District is one of our largest infrastructure districts specializing in heavy civil, structural concrete/bridge, water/wastewater, and transportation projects. We self-perform work such as mass grading, drainage, paving, utility and more - so be ready to get your hands dirty! While headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the majority of our work is concentrated in the Central and South-Central regions of the United States. We are looking for people committed to the construction industry rather than design.
