Land Surveyor

Land Surveyors typically work within the construction and development industry, as they are responsible for measuring boundaries and plotting position of points and the distances and angles between them. Their work forms the basis for establishing land maps and boundaries for ownership, location and construction. A day as a Land Surveyor might involve using advanced technology such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyse data and create detailed maps. They often work with engineers, architects and developers on major property or infrastructure projects. Though this role involves a significant degree of fieldwork, it also requires analysis and detailed report writing to communicate the findings of surveys.
