MEMBER SPOTLIGHT JUSTIN PAUL JURKOWSKI CARROLL ENGINEERING CORPORATION LI justin-paul-jurkowski-6931b1210
Years in this Business? 20+
How did you get into this business? My journey in land surveying started early – it’s in my blood. My father, Paul Jurkowski, became a land surveyor at just 18 years old. After having me at
age 21, I quickly found myself holding the rod for him over the weekends before I was even a teenager. At 15, I got my first job in his firm, purging files and organizing critical survey information. During college, I worked summers and winters as an instrument operator, gaining hands-on experience in the field. Upon studying at Monmouth University and NJIT, I spent nearly a decade as a crew chief, surveying across 15 different states. That field experience eventually led me inside, where I quickly adapted to CAD drafting and point cloud processing. It was during this time that I developed a deep passion—some might even say an obsession—for property boundary law, deed interpretation, title reports, tidelands, and boundary establishment. This passion ultimately brought me to Carroll Engineering. What is the Story Behind Your Company? Founded in 1973, Carroll Engineering is a leading multidisciplinary Engineering and Land Surveying firm in the Northeast. Our firm delivers a wide range of highly regarded professional services, including: site/civil engineering,
water facilities engineering, wastewater engineering, and municipal engineering, to a wide range of authority, municipal, public, and private clients in the region. Our departments serve as valuable resources to each other, with our services available to clients in both the public and private sectors. While our survey department plays a key role in supporting in-house engineering, I like to think of it as a standalone entity—delivering high-quality surveying solutions independently. What is Your Role at Carroll Engineering? As Survey Department Manager of our Hillsborough office, I lead a team of surveyors, technicians, managers, and drone operators, and oversee all aspects of survey projects, from planning and budgeting to execution and delivery. I strongly believe in leveraging leading-edge technology to constantly push the limits of accuracy, efficiency, and innovation, as well as my own understanding of the field. Beyond the technical aspects, I am deeply committed to the growth and development of my team, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where we continually refine our skills and adapt to new challenges. My passion lies in delivering precise, reliable, and forward-thinking solutions to meet the evolving needs of our clients and the expectations of our shareholders. I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow in the fields of surveying, geospatial analysis, and UAV mapping. I’m excited to have this opportunity today to share insights into how technology is shaping the future of land surveying and how Carroll Engineering is currently utilizing this technology.
