How do they match: Geodetic Surveyors

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

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Update technical knowledge.
