Tasks for “Photogrammetric Engineer”
- Verify the accuracy of survey data, including measurements and calculations conducted at survey sites.
- Direct or conduct surveys to establish legal boundaries for properties, based on legal deeds and titles.
- Conduct research in surveying and mapping methods using knowledge of techniques of photogrammetric map compilation and electronic data processing.
- Determine longitudes and latitudes of important features and boundaries in survey areas, using theodolites, transits, levels, and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS).
- Plan and conduct ground surveys designed to establish baselines, elevations, and other geodetic measurements.
- Determine specifications for photographic equipment to be used for aerial photography, as well as altitudes from which to photograph terrain.
- Calculate heights, depths, relative positions, property lines, and other characteristics of terrain.
- Record the results of surveys including the shape, contour, location, elevation, and dimensions of land or land features.
- Adjust surveying instruments to maintain their accuracy.
