Geodetic Surveyors

A typical week, in the words of people in the job

1. 01Analyze control or survey data to ensure adherence to project specifications or land survey standards.
2. 02Conduct surveys to determine exact positions, measurement of points, elevations, lines, areas, volumes, contours, or other features of land surfaces.
3. 03Calculate the exact horizontal and vertical position of points on the Earth's surface.
4. 04Maintain databases of geodetic and related information, including coordinate, descriptive, or quality assurance data.
5. 05Verify the mathematical correctness of newly collected survey data.
6. 06Compute 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.
7. 07Plan or direct the work of geodetic surveying staff, providing technical consultation as needed.
8. 08Assess the quality of control data to determine the need for additional survey data for engineering, construction, or other projects.
9. 09Distribute compiled geodetic data to government agencies or the general public.
10. 10Request additional survey data when field collection errors occur or engineering surveying specifications are not maintained.
11. 11Read current literature, talk with colleagues, continue education, or participate in professional organizations or conferences to keep abreast of developments in technology, equipment, or systems.
12. 12Provide training and interpretation in the use of methods or procedures for observing and checking controls for geodetic and plane coordinates.
