Geodetic Surveyors

Tasks Include:

• Analyze control or survey data to ensure adherence to project specifications or land survey standards.
• Calculate the exact horizontal and vertical position of points on the earth's surface.
• Verify the mathematical correctness of newly collected survey data.
• Plan or direct the work of geodetic surveying staff, providing technical consultation as needed.
• Assess the quality of control data to determine the need for additional survey data for engineering, construction, or other projects.
• Maintain databases of geodetic and related information including coordinate, descriptive, or quality assurance data.
• Conduct surveys to determine exact positions, measurement of points, elevations, lines, areas, volumes, contours, or other features of land surfaces.
• Compute horizontal and vertical coordinates of control networks using direct leveling or other geodetic survey techniques such as triangulation, trilateration, and traversing to establish features of the earth's surface.
