KLJ is excited to announce that Jonah Winchester recently earned his Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license from the Montana Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. This licensure represents a significant milestone in Winchester’s career and reflects his dedication and expertise in the field of land surveying. 

The process to obtain a Professional Land Surveyor license in Montana involves rigorous standards, including passing the Principles and Practices of Land Surveying (PSLS) exam and the Montana Law, State-Specific Land Surveying Examination.

Winchester met these criteria through his nine years of professional experience, which have equipped him with the knowledge and skills to handle complex land surveying projects. 

As a senior survey crew chief at KLJ, Winchester has more than 13 years of experience across various surveying disciplines including cadastral, corridor, utility, control surveys, and private land boundary retracements. His expertise includes generation of certificates of survey, topographical and bathymetric surveys, and construction layouts. Winchester earned his certification in geomatics technologies and engineering technologies from Southwestern Community College.
