Job Description
At Caltech Surveys Ltd., our expertise extends well beyond traditional surveying boundaries. Our experience runs the gamut from major pipelines to extensive as-built and well-site surveys.
Back in 1990, Caltech launched with a team of just two people. As our reputation for speed and accuracy grew, so did the size of our company. Now with a team of 140, we use cutting edge technologies and a wealth of experience to get the job done. Still owned and run by surveyors, we are licensed to survey anywhere from Alberta to Manitoba, from the foothills to the prairies.
Safety is deeply embedded in our company culture and our absolute commitment to it not only protects our employees, but also our clients, the public and the environment.
