At Residential Strategies Inc. (RSI), we are a leading provider of market research, data analysis, and strategic consulting for the Texas housing industry. Since 1997, RSI has earned a strong reputation for delivering accurate, insightful, and timely intelligence that empowers homebuilders, developers and financial institutions to make informed decisions about residential development and investment. We're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented individual to join our team as a Field Surveyor. Field Surveyors are responsible for driving through newly developed residential subdivisions to document the construction progress on each lot. This is a paid hourly position, with mileage reimbursed at the IRS standard rate. The role involves approximately 45-55 hours of work over a two-week period, scheduled quarterly—typically at the end of March, June, September, and December.
What You'll Need:
Valid Driver's License Current automobile insurance Reliable vehicle A good sense of direction Ability to use GPS navigation systems and/or read maps Strong attention to detail Ability to lift 20lbs
What You'll Do:
Learn the full survey process by participating in both field and office training, typically held over three consecutive days. Drive through residential areas on designated routes and accurately mark subdivision plats to record land, lot, and home construction statuses. Transfer field notes and markings to tally sheets for each surveyed area. Package and ship completed materials back to our office.
Additional Info:
Driving makes up about 75% of the total hours, so comfort with being on the road is essential. First-time surveyors will attend a half-day check-in meeting after completing their first quarterly survey. RSI will provide the necessary tools and materials required to record construction activity. We value long-term relationships with our surveyors and strive to maintain a consistent and supportive work environment.
