  • Assess the quality of control data to determine the need for additional survey data for engineering, construction, or other projects.
  • 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.
  • Compute, retrace, or adjust existing surveys of features such as highway alignments, property boundaries, utilities, control and other surveys to match the ground elevation-dependent grids, geodetic grids, or property boundaries and to ensure accuracy and continuity of data used in engineering, surveying, or construction projects.
  • Determine orientation of tracts of land, including position, boundaries, size, and shape, using theodolites, electronic distance-measuring equipment, satellite-based positioning equipment, land information systems, or other geodetic survey equipment.
  • Distribute compiled geodetic data to government agencies or the general public.
  • Maintain databases of geodetic and related information, including coordinate, descriptive, or quality assurance data.
  • Plan or direct the work of geodetic surveying staff, providing technical consultation as needed.
  • Prepare progress or technical reports.
  • Provide training and interpretation in the use of methods or procedures for observing and checking controls for geodetic and plane coordinates.
  • Request additional survey data when field collection errors occur or engineering surveying specifications are not maintained.

  • Analyze physical, survey, or geographic data.
  • Calculate geographic positions from survey data.
  • Update technical knowledge.
