Job Summary

Makes exact measurements and determines property boundaries. Provides data relevant to the shape, contour, gravitation, location, elevation, or dimension of land or land features on or near the earth's surface for engineering, mapmaking, land evaluation, construction, and other purposes. Determines longitudes and latitudes of important features and boundaries in survey areas, using theodolites, transits, levels, and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS). Computes geodetic measurements and interprets survey data to determine positions, shapes, and elevations of geomorphic and topographic features. Trains assistants and helpers and direct their work in such activities as performing surveys or drafting maps. Writes descriptions of property boundary surveys for use in deeds, leases, or other legal documents. Manages the monuments and base marker survey benchmark points and any related sketches, maps, reports, and legal descriptions of surveys to describe, certify, and assume liability for work performed.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Performs surveying to accurately reflect existing conditions.

• Prepares charts, maps, and area surveys and collects field data to incorporate into location maps and records.

• Sets control points, grade stake, locate underground utilities and other appurtenances and performs the hydrographic mapping.

• Manages monument inventory and provides replacements when damaged to include latitude, longitude, and elevation information in maps and area surveys as required by the Government.

• Provides charts, maps, area surveys, and other surveying information within 2 weeks of Government request.

• Surveys performed in direct support of design or non-recurring projects shall adhere to the performance objectives and standards as this spec item but shall not be included in the quantity of this spec item.

• Measures large areas of the Earth's surface using satellite observations, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), light detection and ranging (LIDAR), or related sources.

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

• Computes geodetic measurements and interprets survey data to determine positions, shapes, and elevations of geomorphic and topographic features.

• Responsible for management and supervision of other surveyors in this Section and acts as the party chief for 2-man or 3-man survey crew and directs their work in such activities as performing surveys or drafting maps.

• Performs budget estimates, survey data analysis, and written reports to manage both the contract fixed firm price performance and indefinite quantity requirements of the base operating support (BOS) contract regarding work performed in this Section.

• Analyzes control or survey data to ensure adherence to project specifications or land survey standards.

• Maintains databases of geodetic and related information including coordinate, descriptive, or quality assurance data.

• Conducts surveys to determine exact positions, measurement of points, elevations, lines, areas, volumes, contours, or other features of land surfaces.

• Computes horizontal and vertical coordinates of control networks, using direct leveling or other geodetic survey techniques such as triangulation, trilateration, and traversing to establish features of the earth's surface.

• Computes, retraces, or adjusts existing surveys of features such as highway alignments, property boundaries, utilities, control, and other surveys to match the ground elevation-dependent grids, geodetic grids, or property boundaries and to ensure accuracy and continuity of data used in engineering, surveying, or construction projects.

• Determines the orientation of tracts of land, including position, boundaries, size, and shape, using theodolites, electronic distance-measuring equipment, satellite-based positioning equipment, land information systems, or other geodetic survey equipment.

• Reviews existing standards, controls, or equipment used, recommending changes or upgrades as needed.

• Performs other work-related duties and responsibilities as assigned to meet organizational/operational objectives.

Basic Qualifications

• Ability to use surveying and mapping equipment (graduated rods, transits, levels, theodolites, fathometers, electronic distance meters, global positioning systems, etc.)
