ATOMIC

Direct or conduct surveys to establish legal boundaries for properties, based on legal deeds and titles.

ATOMIC

Prepare and maintain sketches, maps, reports, and legal descriptions of surveys to describe, certify, and assume liability for work performed.

ATOMIC

Write descriptions of property boundary surveys for use in deeds, leases, or other legal documents.

ATOMIC

Verify the accuracy of survey data, including measurements and calculations conducted at survey sites.

ATOMIC

Search legal records, survey records, and land titles to obtain information about property boundaries in areas to be surveyed.

ATOMIC

Record the results of surveys, including the shape, contour, location, elevation, and dimensions of land or land features.

ATOMIC

Prepare, or supervise preparation of, all data, charts, plots, maps, records, and documents related to surveys.

ATOMIC

Compute geodetic measurements and interpret survey data to determine positions, shapes, and elevations of geomorphic and topographic features.

ATOMIC

Calculate heights, depths, relative positions, property lines, and other characteristics of terrain.

ATOMIC

Plan and conduct ground surveys designed to establish baselines, elevations, and other geodetic measurements.

ATOMIC

Establish fixed points for use in making maps, using geodetic and engineering instruments.

ATOMIC

Determine longitudes and latitudes of important features and boundaries in survey areas, using theodolites, transits, levels, and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS).

ATOMIC

Develop criteria for survey methods and procedures.

ATOMIC

Survey bodies of water to determine navigable channels and to secure data for construction of breakwaters, piers, and other marine structures.

ATOMIC

Direct aerial surveys of specified geographical areas.

ATOMIC

Conduct research in surveying and mapping methods, using knowledge of photogrammetric map compilation and electronic data processing.

ATOMIC

Locate and mark sites selected for geophysical prospecting activities, such as efforts to locate petroleum or other mineral products.

ATOMIC
