How do they match: Surveyors

  • 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.
  • Conduct research in surveying and mapping methods, using knowledge of photogrammetric map compilation and electronic data processing.
  • Coordinate findings with the work of engineering and architectural personnel, clients, and others concerned with projects.
  • Prepare, or supervise preparation of, all data, charts, plots, maps, records, and documents related to surveys.
  • Survey bodies of water to determine navigable channels and to secure data for construction of breakwaters, piers, and other marine structures.
  • Verify the accuracy of survey data, including measurements and calculations conducted at survey sites.

  • Analyze physical, survey, or geographic data.
  • Calculate geographic positions from survey data.
  • Gather physical survey data.
  • Train personnel on proper operational procedures.
