Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized technical job that calculates and analyzes accurate coordinates and elevations from surveying data, taking into account the Earth's shape and gravity field.
Description
Geodetic computation technicians analyze GNSS positioning data and leveling survey results, performing coordinate system transformations and geoid corrections to provide accurate geospatial information. They implement and optimize calculation algorithms using dedicated software or programming languages, collaborating with surveying technicians and GIS engineers to support urban infrastructure design and maintenance, land cadastre surveys, and Geographic Information System (GIS) construction. Leveraging knowledge of mathematics and statistics, they analyze and correct observation errors, providing high-precision results across a wide range of fields such as public and private surveying projects.
Future Outlook
With the advancement of urban infrastructure development and smart city initiatives, the demand for accurate geospatial data is increasing. The sophistication of GNSS and remote sensing technologies will further require specialized expertise.
