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.

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
