  • Perform surveying and mapping duties, usually under the direction of an engineer, surveyor, cartographer, or photogrammetrist, to obtain data used for construction, mapmaking, boundary location, mining, or other purposes. May calculate mapmaking information and create maps from source data, such as surveying notes, aerial photography, satellite data, or other maps to show topographical features, political boundaries, and other features. May verify accuracy and completeness of maps.

  • Compile information necessary to stake projects for construction, using engineering plans.
  • Design or develop information databases that include geographic or topographic data.
  • Enter Global Positioning System (GPS) data, legal deeds, field notes, or land survey reports into geographic information system (GIS) workstations so that information can be transformed into graphic land descriptions, such as maps and drawings.
  • Trace contours or topographic details to generate maps that denote specific land or property locations or geographic attributes.

  • Assist engineers or scientists with research.
  • Calculate geographic positions from survey data.
  • Determine geographic coordinates.
  • Document technical design details.
  • Supervise engineering or other technical personnel.
