Experienced Survey Leader Joins Raleigh Team

Ty Robbins, PLS, has joined Ayres as a senior project manager of land survey in the firm’s new Raleigh office, bringing more than four decades of surveying experience and a deep understanding of North Carolina’s transportation, utility, and land development markets.

In his new role, Robbins will oversee projects delivered from the Raleigh office while supporting existing survey projects throughout the region. His responsibilities include project management, quality assurance and quality control reviews of field data and deliverables, and helping develop staff, client relationships, and strategic partnerships across North Carolina.

“Ty brings a skill set that will complement our team well and support our growth initiatives,” said Joey Fuller, PLS, manager of Ayres’ North Carolina survey operations. “He has a proven track record of delivering quality work, and we felt he could make an immediate impact on the team.”

Robbins began his surveying career in 1980 and has spent more than 40 years working across a wide range of project types, including subdivisions, ALTA surveys, brownfield projects, flood-related surveys, municipal work, and federal government contracts. His extensive background includes project management, survey operations leadership, and subsurface utility engineering (SUE).

“Having a professional land surveyor with Ty’s SUE background is exciting for us,” Fuller said. “It’s a service area we’ve wanted to grow here in North Carolina, and his experience will help us continue moving in that direction.”

Throughout his career, Robbins has managed surveying efforts for commercial developments, residential subdivisions, transportation projects, municipalities, counties, universities, and federal agencies. He has led survey and SUE operations, directed North Carolina survey programs, and managed projects for a diverse client base ranging from local governments to national homebuilders. His experience also includes significant work supporting North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) projects and transportation corridor surveys.

Robbins is a licensed professional land surveyor in North Carolina. In addition to his surveying license, he holds NCDOT certifications as a concrete inspector, asphalt inspector, and commercial density inspector, as well as certification as a SUE technician through Underground University in Illinois.
