NORTH KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, June 17, 2025 – Tyler Sudduth has officially earned his Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license, marking a major milestone in his surveying career.
Earning a PLS license requires a four-year degree, extensive professional experience under a licensed surveyor, and passing both national and state-specific exams. This credential reflects a surveyor’s ability to take legal responsibility for boundary decisions that influence land development and infrastructure.
“Tyler is an instrumental part of our team in Kansas City,” said Josh Doughan, Vice President of Survey. “He works with many of our largest clients and he’s a great team player. Obtaining his professional licensure is an important step in his professional growth and will enhance the impact he has on our projects and the clients we serve.”
Reflecting on the journey, Tyler shared: “Getting my PLS license is a major milestone in my career. I’m thankful for the support and mentorship of the survey team, especially Steve Whitaker and Tuff Hermreck, who always took the time to review and discuss key surveying principles with me,” he said. “It has been a long and at times frustrating process, and I’m happy to have this step behind me. I’m hopeful to get my license in Kansas next, so there’s still more work ahead.”
McClure congratulates Tyler on his accomplishment and looks forward to the continued contributions to the firm’s survey efforts in Missouri and beyond.
