How do they match: Geodetic Surveyors

  • Geodetic Engineer

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Request additional survey data when field collection errors occur or engineering surveying specifications are not maintained.
