  • Survey Engineer

  • Make exact measurements and determine property boundaries. Provide data relevant to the shape, contour, gravitation, location, elevation, or dimension of land or land features on or near the earth's surface for engineering, mapmaking, mining, land evaluation, construction, and other purposes.

  • Compute geodetic measurements and interpret survey data to determine positions, shapes, and elevations of geomorphic and topographic features.
  • Coordinate findings with the work of engineering and architectural personnel, clients, and others concerned with projects.
  • Direct aerial surveys of specified geographical areas.
  • Establish fixed points for use in making maps, using geodetic and engineering instruments.
  • Locate and mark sites selected for geophysical prospecting activities, such as efforts to locate petroleum or other mineral products.
  • Plan and conduct ground surveys designed to establish baselines, elevations, and other geodetic measurements.

  • Analyze physical, survey, or geographic data.
  • Calculate geographic positions from survey data.
  • Calibrate scientific or technical equipment.
  • Document technical design details.
