Position Description : Measure large areas of the Earth’s surface using satellite observations, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), light detection and ranging (LIDAR), or related sources.
A Day in the Life of a Geodetic Surveyor
Analyze control or survey data to ensure adherence to project specifications or land survey standards. Read current literature, talk with colleagues, continue education, or participate in professional organizations or conferences to keep abreast of developments in technology, equipment, or systems. Assess the quality of control data to determine the need for additional survey data for engineering, construction, or other projects. Conduct surveys to determine exact positions, measurement of points, elevations, lines, areas, volumes, contours, or other features of land surfaces. 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. Geodetic Surveyor Required Skills
These are the skills Geodetic Surveyors say are the most useful in their careers: Mathematics : Using mathematics to solve problems. Critical Thinking : Using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems. Reading Comprehension : Understanding written sentences and paragraphs in work related documents. Active Listening : Giving full attention to what other people are saying, taking time to understand the points being made, asking questions as appropriate, and not interrupting at inappropriate times. Complex Problem Solving : Identifying complex problems and reviewing related information to develop and evaluate options and implement solutions. Judgment and Decision Making : Considering the relative costs and benefits of potential actions to choose the most appropriate one.
