Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technician who collects and analyzes surveying data of terrain and land, and creates design drawings using CAD.
Description
Surveying design engineers use surveying instruments such as total stations, GNSS, and laser scanners to accurately measure the shape and dimensions of terrain and land. They analyze and process this data using surveying software and CAD to create design drawings and reports. In public works and private development projects, they provide foundational data for determining land boundaries, planning routes for roads and bridges, and land development plans, collaborating with civil engineering design engineers and architectural designers to advance projects. Compliance with laws and standards, as well as high precision management, are required.
Future Outlook
Stable demand continues due to needs for public infrastructure development and land use planning. Adoption of UAV surveying and automation technologies is advancing, requiring adaptation to technological innovations.
