The fundamental reason this classification
exists is to perform entry-level survey engineering work in the field as part
of a survey crew. As experience is acquired, the incumbent will perform
with increasing independence. Responsibilities include working as the
instrument person with the surveying crew or performing as a lead worker when
the crew chief is absent. This classification differs from the Engineering
Technician IIs in that the assignments are more complex and require a higher
level of independent decision-making. Specific work assignments are received
from the Professional Land Surveyor; however, the work is conducted under the
direct supervision of the Engineering Technician II and is typically reviewed
during progress and upon completion.
High school diploma or GED and one (1) year of
experience working on basic surveying tasks such as measuring distances on
ballfields, Right-of-Ways, playgrounds or other areas requiring staking out
ground for accurate measurements.
NOTE: Qualifying education, training and experience that provide the
requisite knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the job will be considered.
