Introducing Joseph Phil our latest Brand Ambassador from New Jersey, USA. Let’s learn some more about him:
How did you get into surveying?I got into the Geospatial Industry shortly after joining my current firm as a civil engineer graduate, I was presented an opportunity and path to further my education and ultimate licensure as a Professional Land Surveyor. To say it was a great decision would be an understatement, there is so much to learn and appreciate while being able to utilise some really cool technology each and every day!
This field has so many opportunities for career growth and there is really something for everyone whether they like math, history, reading, writing, the outdoors, computers, technology, drones, etc. The message is simple, and I couldn’t agree more with the mission of GKiS because they are the future!
I plan to volunteer my time to participate in various outreach programs such as conferences, schools, events, etc. promoting the land surveying / geospatial industry. I was lucky enough to get into this as a career and now is the time to pay it forward.
I am currently a Principal and the Land Survey Department Manager at Suburban Consulting Engineers, Inc. for which I have the pleasure to work with an incredibly talented staff that is focused on our day-to-day projects preparing various survey and maps. Each project is exciting but can have its fair share of challenges that allows us to work together as a team coming up with solutions. It is always rewarding to see the finished product and I’m consistently proud to sign each and every survey we prepare!
