Land Surveyor Forum

I'm looking to talk to someone who has worked way out in Canada or Alaska or somewhere comparably remote.

I've been a crew chief / project manager for a small surveyor in Queens New York for five years now. I am fully proficient with several total stations and Autocad and I quickly pick on new technologies and techniques.

I am interested in working for several months in Canada on a contract basis. I am especially looking for an opportunity that the employer has had trouble filling - something intense.

I'm 24 years old and looking for a challenge and I would love to do some work somewhere remote, where the employer is willing to train. I've also heard these things pay well. Also, my girlfriend (also involved in surveying and looking for a challenge) needs to move to Canada for a year to receive her dual citizenship.

I am a very hard worker and I learn fast. Any advice would be appreciated. Both as to who to contact for this type of thing, and about anyone's experience doing it.
