Middleton, Canada Government of Nova Scotia Full time

About Us

Building and maintaining our Provincial infrastructure is no small job.

The Department of Public Works supports Nova Scotia’s 23,000 kilometers of roads and highways and 4,100 bridges. We are responsible for managing major capital construction projects, snow and ice control services, along with road maintenance and repair services.

We’re recruiting for an Engineering and Survey Technician. If you’re looking for an opportunity to explore the outdoors and beauty of Nova Scotia, and watch your hands-on experiences come to life as you support the development and construction of various projects, then this is the opportunity for you.

About Our Opportunity

As the Engineering and Survey Technician, you conduct a broad range of surveying and engineering related duties in conjunction with the administration, maintenance and construction of Provincial highways and bridges.

You will assist with contract supervision and supervision of a crew, preparation of right-of-way plans, and calculate vertical and horizontal control for roads and bridges. You will also collect, compile and present data collected during your field work and determine quantities of materials for use on projects. The data you collect directly supports the development and construction of various projects through the District.

Primary Accountabilities

In this role, your focus will be assisting the Project Engineer in facilitating the Capital Program. You will also be responsible for:

assisting with contract administration; collecting, compiling and presenting data collected during field work; determining quantities of materials for use on projects; assisting supervisors and managers with project planning, designs, permitting and oversight; conducting field surveys to confirm property, highway and project boundaries; and assisting in supervising staff and contractors on construction sites.


Most of your time will be spent outside in various weather conditions on heavily travelled roads or in rough, isolated areas on construction sites.

Qualifications and Experience

Graduation from a two (2) year Survey, Geomatics Engineering or Civil Technology course is required.

Frequent travel throughout your assigned area is a component of this position; as such, you must have a valid driver's license and access to a reliable motor vehicle.

are a self-motivated individual who works well independently with minimal supervision; participate fully as an effective team player; are experienced with current AutoCAD™ software packages designed for use in a surveying or engineering environment; are familiar with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Regulations, and safe working practices; and have experience in the use of spreadsheet software, word processing, and email applications.

Working knowledge of the various aspects of bridge and highway construction design standards, contract specifications, the Land Surveyors Act and familiarity working in a union environment would be considered assets.

You consistently maintain a professional and courteous disposition and hold a high standard for client and customer service. In this position, you will interact with the public, supervise a crew and monitor the work of contract personnel. As such, your ability to communicate clearly and effectively both verbally and in writing, develop strong relationships with clients, and think and act proactively is essential to your success.

We will assess the above qualifications and competencies using one of more of the following tools: written examination, standardized tests, oral presentation, interview(s), and reference checks.
