Job Description:

As a Geospatial and Land Surveyor Specialist, your primary role is to conduct land surveys, collect geospatial data, and produce accurate maps, charts, and spatial information to support land development, infrastructure projects, and environmental management initiatives. You will utilize advanced surveying equipment, geographic information systems (GIS), and remote sensing technologies to capture, analyze, and visualize spatial data for various applications.

Key Responsibilities:

Land Surveying and Mapping:

• Conduct field surveys and measurements to determine property boundaries, topographic features, elevation contours, and land use characteristics.
• Utilize total stations, GPS/GNSS receivers, and terrestrial laser scanners to collect precise geospatial data and create detailed survey maps, plats, and cadastral drawings.

Geospatial Data Collection and Analysis:

• Collect, process, and analyze geospatial data from aerial imagery, LiDAR, satellite imagery, and other remote sensing sources to create digital elevation models, orthophotos, and thematic maps.
• Perform spatial analyses, geostatistical modeling, and spatial interpolation techniques to extract meaningful insights and patterns from geospatial datasets.

GIS Database Management:

• Develop and maintain GIS databases, spatial datasets, and metadata repositories to organize, store, and manage geospatial information effectively.
• Ensure data integrity, accuracy, and consistency through data validation, quality control checks, and metadata documentation.

Cartographic Design and Visualization:

• Design and produce cartographic products, map layouts, and geovisualizations for presentation and dissemination purposes.
• Create interactive web maps, GIS applications, and dashboards to communicate spatial information to stakeholders and decision-makers.

Surveying Instrumentation and Technology:

• Stay abreast of advancements in surveying instrumentation, geospatial technologies, and software applications to enhance surveying capabilities and productivity.
• Recommend and implement new surveying tools, equipment upgrades, and workflow optimizations to improve survey efficiency and data quality.

Regulatory Compliance and Land Use Planning:

• Interpret survey data, land records, and legal documents to ensure compliance with land surveying standards, zoning regulations, and property rights.
• Provide technical support and expertise to land use planners, engineers, and developers in land development projects, site selection, and infrastructure planning.

Environmental Monitoring and Natural Resource Management:

• Assist in environmental monitoring programs, habitat assessments, and land conservation efforts by providing geospatial support and spatial analysis expertise.
• Collaborate with environmental scientists, ecologists, and conservationists to map and monitor ecological resources, wildlife habitats, and land cover changes.
