Our team is led by principle owners who are highly skilled and experienced professionals in their respective fields. For instance, Jim Kramer, PLS, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from St. Cloud State University, has nineteen years of experience in civil engineering and land surveying. His career commenced in highway engineering and highway construction inspection at the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), where he advanced to roles such as Survey Crew Chief, Land Surveyor in Training, and ultimately Principal Land Surveyor. Throughout his career, Mr. Kramer has adeptly provided various field and office services, both as a Survey Crew Chief and Registered Land Surveyor. His expertise encompasses aerial mapping, topographic and digital terrain mapping, municipal construction staking, highway construction staking, horizontal and vertical control networks, public land system re-establishment and section subdivisions, legal description preparation, and right-of-way platting.

The combination of Mr. Kramer's extensive experience and diverse skill set positions him as a valuable asset in the field of civil engineering and land surveying. In July 2003, Mr. Kramer made the decision to leave his position at the Minnesota Department of Transportation to establish Kramer - Leas - DeLeo Engineering & Surveying. Since then, our team has been dedicated to providing innovative engineering solutions, comprehensive survey services, and environmental assessments to our clients.
