Ambassador Spotlight ‘Juan Valles’

Welcoming Brand Ambassador Juan Valles who is covering the Southwest region of Arizona, USA:

How did you get into the Geospatial industry? My first drafting position during architecture school was with a land surveying firm, and it was there that I discovered a true passion for the field.

Tell us about what you do: I am currently a Project Manager at a land development firm based in Phoenix, Arizona. Our firm specializes in a wide range of project types, including single-family and multifamily residential developments, as well as commercial, industrial, and renewable energy projects. I oversee the planning, coordination, and execution of development efforts across these sectors, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

What are your plans as a Brand Ambassador? I’m passionate about sharing the love for the land surveying profession with the next generation. Whether through mentorship, outreach, or simply answering questions, I strive to be a resource for young people exploring their career paths. Surveying offers unique opportunities to work outdoors, solve complex problems, and shape the communities around us—and I want others to see how rewarding it can be.

Is there anything else you’d like to mention? Our office is deeply passionate about the surveying profession, and we would be honored to have the opportunity to support and be involved with your organization. We value initiatives that promote the industry and look forward to contributing in any way we can.
