Tasks for “Project Surveyor”
- Compute geodetic measurements and interpret survey data to determine positions, shapes, and elevations of geomorphic and topographic features.
- Establish fixed points for use in making maps, using geodetic and engineering instruments.
- Direct aerial surveys of specified geographical areas.
- Train assistants and helpers, and direct their work in such activities as performing surveys or drafting maps.
- Calculate heights, depths, relative positions, property lines, and other characteristics of terrain.
- Develop criteria for survey methods and procedures.
- Develop criteria for the design and modification of survey instruments.
- Verify the accuracy of survey data, including measurements and calculations conducted at survey sites.
- Coordinate findings with the work of engineering and architectural personnel, clients, and others concerned with projects.
- Conduct research in surveying and mapping methods using knowledge of techniques of photogrammetric map compilation and electronic data processing.
- Search legal records, survey records, and land titles to obtain information about property boundaries in areas to be surveyed.
- Adjust surveying instruments to maintain their accuracy.
- Plan and conduct ground surveys designed to establish baselines, elevations, and other geodetic measurements.
- Prepare or supervise preparation of all data, charts, plots, maps, records, and documents related to surveys.
- Analyze survey objectives and specifications to prepare survey proposals or to direct others in survey proposal preparation.
- Write descriptions of property boundary surveys for use in deeds, leases, or other legal documents.
- Locate and mark sites selected for geophysical prospecting activities such as efforts to locate petroleum or other mineral products.
- Determine specifications for photographic equipment to be used for aerial photography, as well as altitudes from which to photograph terrain.
- Survey bodies of water to determine navigable channels and to secure data for construction of breakwaters, piers, and other marine structures.
- Determine longitudes and latitudes of important features and boundaries in survey areas, using theodolites, transits, levels, and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS).
- Prepare and maintain sketches, maps, reports, and legal descriptions of surveys to describe, certify, and assume liability for work performed.
- Record the results of surveys including the shape, contour, location, elevation, and dimensions of land or land features.
- Direct or conduct surveys to establish legal boundaries for properties, based on legal deeds and titles.
