Job description

HDL Engineering Consultants, LLC (HDL) is a leader in surveying, design, and construction services across Alaska. With multiple offices statewide, we're looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Survey Technician (Intern) to join our surveying and mapping team for the summer season. This internship is designed for students enrolled in an accredited geomatics program , with preference given to those attending an Alaska-based program, though all students are encouraged to apply-especially if you're interested in launching your career in Alaska after graduation.

As an intern at HDL, you'll work alongside experienced Professional Land Surveyors and Certified Federal Surveyors , gaining hands-on experience in a variety of field and office tasks. You'll be part of real projects that shape Alaska's communities while receiving mentorship from some of the best surveyors in the state.

This is a great opportunity to build your skills, get real-world experience, and explore a future with HDL.

Requirements :

  • Valid Alaska Driver's License and a clean driving record
  • Enrolled as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th-year student in a geomatics / surveying program (University of Alaska preferred)
  • Ability and willingness to travel within Alaska
  • Physically fit and capable of working safely and efficiently in a variety of Alaskan terrains.

Preferred Qualifications :

  • Eager to learn all aspects of surveying, including control, topographic, boundary, aerial (drone), and right-of-way surveying
  • Looking for hands-on experience applying classroom knowledge in a real-world setting
  • Interested in building a long-term career-we hope interns will return each summer, gaining experience with HDL and transitioning to full-time employment after graduation
  • Responsibilities :

  • Work as a survey technician on a two-person field survey crew
  • Gain hands-on experience primarily in the field, with some office work contributing to control, boundary, subdivision, topographic & design surveys, as well as aerial mapping control and aeronautical surveys
  • Operate survey instruments with precision, including GPS equipment, total stations, and digital levels
  • Record accurate field notes and sketches to document survey data
  • Identify and understand sources of measurement errors to ensure quality results
  • Perform field calculations and check data under the guidance of the party chief
  • Use survey programs and AutoCAD for data reduction, field note processing, calculations, and staking computations
  • Support the project surveyor with office tasks, including research, data reduction, equipment organization, and scanning field notes
  • Work Environment :

    This position includes a mix of field and office work, with much of the summer spent on out-of-town projects across Alaska .

    Field Work :

  • Travel to various project sites, typically for one to two weeks at a time
  • Work 10 to 12 hours per day, 7 days per week while on out-of-town assignments
  • In-town projects typically run 8 to 10 hours per day, 5 days per week
  • Operate surveying equipment, including GPS receivers / controllers and total stations
  • Walk long distances, carry survey equipment, and occasionally stand for extended periods at a survey instrument
  • Work in remote locations and diverse terrains, often in inclement weather
  • Lift equipment up to 60 pounds, use tools like a Pionjar or Cobra Combi Breaker / Drill, and follow all safety protocols
  • Office Work :

  • Assist with data processing, research, and survey documentation
  • Work with AutoCAD and other survey software
  • Use standard office equipment, including computers, phones, and photocopiers
  • At HDL, safety is a priority -all field employees are required to wear survey safety vests, follow daily safety briefings, and adhere to strict protocols. This role is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience, see different parts of Alaska, and develop real-world surveying skills in a supportive and professional environment.

  • A workplace where work is rewarding and fun , with flexibility that supports your lifestyle
