Intermediate Construction Surveyor

Intermediate Construction Surveyor


Outcome Consultants Inc.

Can you see yourself here? Outcome Consultants provides environmental and construction support services to a variety of clients in the government, construction, and mining industries. Since we started in 2012, our company has expanded over 20% each year and this has included a growing demand for construction survey services. If you are a qualified surveyor (see Required Qualifications below) and you are looking for a company that will mentor and generously reward you as you grow its survey division, Outcome is the right place for you.


And what is “here” anyways?
Outcome is in Ottawa, but hey, it’s 2025, and even before COVID, Outcome operated with almost half of its staff based in other cities. That’s because our project sites are hardly ever in Ottawa and most of your work will be at remote sites. We are also amazing at using computers and phones to communicate effectively as a team, including members working from a home-office. So if you know you can succeed this way and you live in Canada, your “here” is our “here”.


What will you do?
Bad news is that it is work (see Responsibilities below) and so you have to be prepared to survey on a diverse portfolio of project sites at various locations in Canada, operate extended periods outdoors in inclement weather, handle tight timelines, and once and awhile, to smile. The good news is that you will always have a great sense of pride to be part of a team completing some really awesome construction projects and you will always have the newest, coolest equipment and software to create outputs that will impress the hell out of your clients.
