land-surveyor Occupational skill for the role 'land surveyor' (also: surveyor, surveying engineer, surveyors, geomatics surveyor). Use when the user asks for typical land surveyor work such as: Position and hold the vertical rods, or targets, that theodolite operators use for sighting to measure angles, distances, and elevations.; Check all layers of maps to ensure accuracy, identifying and marking errors and making corrections.; Design or develop information databases that include geographic or topographic data.

Land Surveyor

Land surveyors determine, by means of specialised equipment, the distances and positions of points at the surface of sites for construction purposes. They use measurements of the specific aspects of construction sites, such as electricity, distance measurements, and metal structure volumes to create architectural drawings and develop construction projects.

Core workflow

  1. Position and hold the vertical rods, or targets, that theodolite operators use for sighting to measure angles, distances, and elevations.
  2. Check all layers of maps to ensure accuracy, identifying and marking errors and making corrections.
  3. Design or develop information databases that include geographic or topographic data.
  4. Monitor mapping work or the updating of maps to ensure accuracy, inclusion of new or changed information, or compliance with rules and regulations.
  5. Produce or update overlay maps to show information boundaries, water locations, or topographic features on various base maps or at different scales.
  6. Determine scales, line sizes, or colors to be used for hard copies of computerized maps, using plotters.
  7. Compile information necessary to stake projects for construction, using engineering plans.
  8. Identify and compile database information to create requested maps.
