JEFF O’BRIANT, ESQ, PE, PLS

Like you, Jeff has surveyed through swamps, turned angles in 100-degree North Carolina heat and cut miles of survey line. After attending Wake Tech and UNC Charlotte in Civil Engineering to become a highway design engineer and route surveyor with the NCDOT, he gained experience for his PE and PLS. Soon after, he attended law school at Campbell University and moved into a private legal practice focused primarily on real estate and eminent domain. This experience led him to Progress/Duke Energy where for 10 years he led teams in transmission acquisition, real estate, project management, construction, facility management and other areas. Now, with 30 years of diverse experience in law,

surveying, engineering, construction, eminent domain and other litigation / real estate matters for clients in North Carolina, he enjoys having conversations with fellow professionals about these subjects through classes like this NCSS seminar. Together we will build and strengthen our collective knowledge of the industry and our profession.

groups, diminish discord among them on issues affecting them respectively, and speak

with one voice on issues when consensus can be achieved. He served as COGO Chair

in 2010.

As a long-time member representing NSPS on the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey

Requirements Committee, he has joined his fellow committee members in the

development of upgrades made to these standards, including the recently adopted 2016

version. He also assists in responding to questions/concerns expressed about the

standards and conducts workshops about them.
