Description Surveying technicians assist surveyors in making precise measurements of the earth's surface for the purpose of establishing property boundaries, subdividing land parcels, creating maps of land and water forms for planning, navigation and general use, and the layout and control of construction projects. Technicians are familiar with the operation of sophisticated optical and electronic surveying instruments needed for compiling this information. Surveying technicians work for private engineering and land surveying firms assisting in the construction of roads, bridges, buildings and dams as well as making measurements to determine the location of property boundaries. They also may find jobs with local and state governmental agencies. Prospects for advancement are excellent. There are numerous job opportunities for each graduate. Students who possess strong technical skills, management abilities and a desire for increased responsibilities can rise to supervisory positions.
