Summary: This role involves operating surveying instruments, collecting data for new surveys, and compiling information for construction projects, including conducting surveys of natural and man-made features. Highlights: 1. Operate and adjust surveying instruments like prisms and theodolites 2. Collect and compile survey data for construction and topographical maps 3. Direct and supervise surveying party members and aid in procedure development A. Crew Chiefs • Adjust and operate surveying instruments such as prisms, theodolites, and electronic distance measuring equipment. • Collect information needed to carry out new surveys, using source maps, previous survey data, photographs, computer records, and other relevant information. • Compile information necessary to stake projects for construction, using engineering plans. • Conduct surveys to ascertain the locations of natural features and man-made structures on the Earth's surface, underground, and underwater, using electronic distance-measuring equipment and other surveying instruments. • Direct and supervise work of subordinate members of surveying parties. • Lay out grids, and determine horizontal and vertical controls. • Maintain equipment and vehicles used by surveying crews. • Perform manual labor, such as cutting brush for lines, carrying stakes, rebar, and other heavy items, and stacking rods. • Place and hold measuring tapes when electronic distance-measuring equipment is not used. • Position and hold the vertical rods, or targets, that theodolite operators use for sighting to measure angles, distances, and elevations. • Aid in the development of methods and procedures for conducting field surveys. • Record survey measurements and descriptive data, using notes, drawings, sketches, and inked tracings. • Search for section corners, property corners, and survey points. • Set out and recover stakes, marks, and other monumentation. • Compare survey computations with applicable standards to determine adequacy of data. • Prepare topographic and contour maps of land surveyed, including site features and other relevant information, such as charts, drawings, and survey notes. • Responsible for accurate bench and cross-section elevations.
