Ben began his career with Lane Engineers, Inc. as a part-time employee in June 2007 as he continued to work towards his Bachelor of Science degree in Geomatics Engineering from California State University, Fresno. Upon his graduation, he became a full-time employee in July of 2010. Since then, Ben has developed his skills while sharing time between the office and field.

Ben became a licensed surveyor in early 2015, and as an Associate Land Surveyor, Ben is accountable for a wide variety of office and field assignments. He routinely has the opportunity to work on a project as a field surveyor, and quickly turn around the office work as well. Having a healthy balance of field and office surveying has provided him with the experience to take any project from the research phase to submittal. Ben’s versatility allows him to have a unique perspective on projects, which increases productivity and efficiency.

Ben also understands the necessity of staying on top of constantly evolving field and office procedures and is committed to learning new and efficient methods to improve productivity. In recent years, he has helped implement the use of drones for aerial mapping and 3D laser scanning for 3D modeling. These cutting-edge technologies have broadened the realm of possibilities when seeking to resolve complex issues. Ben will take over management of the Surveying Department in January 2019, upon Pat Teter’s retirement.
