Key Responsibilities
* Conduct land surveys to establish the position of natural features and constructed assets.
* Determine locations of surface, underground, and where applicable underwater features using appropriate surveying instruments.
* Operate electronic distance-measuring equipment and other professional surveying systems.
* Review field survey information covering distances, directions, angles, elevations, contours, and reference points.
* Verify the accuracy and completeness of information received from survey teams.
* Analyze survey measurements before incorporation into project drawings, maps, and reports.
* Research legal records and historical information relevant to land and property boundaries.
* Examine evidence of existing or previous boundary markers and reconcile findings with available records.
* Determine boundary line locations based on survey evidence, legal documentation, and field information.
* Record survey results accurately and maintain appropriate supporting documentation.
* Prepare survey plots, maps, technical records, and reports for project use.
* Manage land-information computer systems and structured survey databases.
* Store and retrieve land and survey information using approved digital systems.
* Produce plots, reports, and survey outputs from land-information platforms.
* Maintain data integrity within survey information systems.
* Identify discrepancies in field measurements or recorded data and investigate their causes.
* Apply established surveying methods to assignments involving diverse technical conditions.
* Work independently on routine survey responsibilities while using professional judgment on more complex assignments.
* Support infrastructure and transportation project teams with accurate land and positional information.
* Coordinate with engineers, project managers, and technical teams where survey information affects design or construction decisions.
* Maintain professional survey records that can support approvals, technical reviews, and project documentation.
* Apply knowledge gained from previous RTA projects to improve compliance with project requirements.
* Support quality checks on survey outputs before formal issue.
* Maintain awareness of applicable surveying standards and transportation project requirements.
