How do they match: Geodetic Surveyors

  • Light Detection and Ranging Technician
  • Geodetic Engineer

  • Measure large areas of the Earth's surface using satellite observations, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), light detection and ranging (LIDAR), or related sources.

  • Assess the quality of control data to determine the need for additional survey data for engineering, construction, or other projects.
  • 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.
  • Request additional survey data when field collection errors occur or engineering surveying specifications are not maintained.
