Employment

 

 

 

Surveyors are CEOs of firms, expert witnesses in court, business owners, researchers, computer specialists, mapmakers, and even crime and accident investigators, to name a few.

They work outdoors and indoors, in mountainous terrain and cities, and even map land under water. Sometimes surveyors work in the field and then hand the collected data to an office-based surveyor who analyzes the data and creates the maps.

Surveyors can choose from a number of paths in this exciting field, specifically construction, boundary, hydrographic, geodesy, photogrammetry, GIS, and forensic surveying.
