land surveying projects. Work Examples Operates survey
instruments such as transit, levels, total stations, data collectors,
theodolites and GPS in the more difficult stages of surveys such as laying
out spiral curves and difficult traverses. Records data gathered by
survey party such as topography (transit notes), cross section (elevation
notes), bench mark (level notes), etc, in electronic survey data collectors,
and survey field books; edits and evaluates survey data on a computer. Makes mathematical,
algebraic, and trigonometric calculations to compute horizontal and vertical
curves, calculate drainage areas, close survey configurations. Competencies Required Knowledge of computers
