How do they match: Geodetic Surveyors

  • Geophysical Prospecting Surveyor
  • Geodetic Technician
  • Geomatics Technician
  • LIDAR Technician
  • Light Detection and Ranging Technician
  • Measurement and Sensing Technician
  • Orthophotography Technician
  • Surveyor Technician

  • Analyze control or survey data to ensure adherence to project specifications or land survey standards.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Request additional survey data when field collection errors occur or engineering surveying specifications are not maintained.
  • Verify the mathematical correctness of newly collected survey data.

  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Analyze physical, survey, or geographic data.
  • Calculate geographic positions from survey data.
  • Gather physical survey data.
  • Update technical knowledge.
