A Leader in Canadian Surveying, Geospatial & Engineering

Full company description

Global Surveys was founded in 1986 and Raymac Surveys in 1978, with both companies firmly establishing themselves in the fabric of Alberta’s Land Surveying community. After serving the Energy and Municipal sectors across the province for more than 25 years, the companies joined forces in 2010 to form Global Raymac Surveys and we haven’t looked back since! Our team, which now consists of more than 220 members, hails from throughout Canada with experience in a variety of disciplines. From certified Land Surveyors to ambitious students-in-training, professional Engineers to qualified drafters; we draw upon our combined skillset to provide our clients with a wealth of expertise ensuring they receive the best possible service. This diversity has also contributed to a key component of our vision: growth. Over the years, Global Raymac has embraced expansion through the addition of our Lloydminster and Medicine Hat offices, with the acquisition of HIW Surveys to form our Grande Prairie office. And most recently in 2017, the addition of our offices in Edmonton and also in Fort St. John, British Columbia. As we look to the future, we are excited by the prospect of continuing our evolution, developing our team, and serving the people of Canada.
