Microstation Specialist

About the role

The Microstation Specialist will own the end to end production of survey deliverables using MicroStation software within the Land Survey group of Matrix New World Engineering. This role requires a hands on approach to maintaining drawing standards, ensuring data integrity, and supporting the full lifecycle of civil design documentation. The specialist will act as the primary technical resource for translating survey data into accurate construction documentation. You will collaborate directly with senior engineers and project managers to resolve complex spatial data challenges. The position demands a proactive mindset to optimize workflows and leverage MicroStation capabilities for efficient project execution. Success in this role will be measured by the accuracy, clarity, and timely delivery of survey packages to public agencies. You will be responsible for safeguarding the quality of digital survey models that form the foundation of our coastal and urban infrastructure projects.
