- Verify the accuracy of survey data, including measurements and calculations conducted at survey sites.
- Establish fixed points for use in making maps, using geodetic and engineering instruments.
- Compute geodetic measurements and interpret survey data to determine positions, shapes, and elevations of geomorphic and topographic features.
- Record the results of surveys including the shape, contour, location, elevation, and dimensions of land or land features.
- Determine longitudes and latitudes of important features and boundaries in survey areas, using theodolites, transits, levels, and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS).
- Direct or conduct surveys to establish legal boundaries for properties, based on legal deeds and titles.
- Determine specifications for photographic equipment to be used for aerial photography, as well as altitudes from which to photograph terrain.
- Direct aerial surveys of specified geographical areas.
