How do they match: Surveyors

  • Geophysical Prospecting Surveyor

  • 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.
  • Locate and mark sites selected for geophysical prospecting activities, such as efforts to locate petroleum or other mineral products.
  • 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.
  • Calibrate scientific or technical equipment.
  • Document technical design details.
  • Gather physical survey data.
