This job also involves:
Good vision for detail
These jobs require you to be able to see clearly to examine items close-up. It
covers jobs where poor vision e.g. tunnel vision, could make the work place
unsafe or the job difficult to undertake, e.g. draftsperson working with
detailed drawings; checkout operator reading dockets; work requiring good
hand-eye co-ordination for working with precision or semi-precision tools.
Mainly outdoor work
Workers performing these jobs would usually be expected to spend more than
three-quarters of their day outdoors, exposed to the weather. They may report
back to an office, station, depot or other central site.
Reading or writing
These jobs require moderate or better reading and writing skills. Workers may
be expected to prepare, understand or act on written materials, such as
letters or reports. People may wish to avoid these jobs if their reading or
writing English skills are limited to a small range of words or phrases and
symbols. Jobs remaining may still require very basic reading or writing
skills.
This occupation offers jobs at the following skill levels:

Duties and tasks of a Surveyor
Surveyors may perform the following tasks:
- measure the size and shape of an area of land using specialised tools and technology
- determine the position of boundaries of public or private land
- create property titles through plans for subdivision
- compile and evaluate data gathered from field studies
- interpret codes and laws to provide professional advice about legal matters relating to boundaries and titles
- study the natural and social environment, measure land and marine resources, and use the data in planning development of property, land and buildings in urban, rural and regional areas
- work with architects, engineers and developers to plan and monitor construction projects
- produce plans, maps, files, charts and reports.
Specialisations
Surveyors may work in related fields such as photogrammetry, geographic
information systems (GIS) or remote sensing, and as project managers. After
spending some years in the field, they often progress to management roles.
Remote Sensing Surveyor
A remote sensing surveyor uses digital data from high-resolution satellites
and airborne imagery systems to monitor changes in the surface features of the
Earth.
Cadastral/Land Surveyor
A cadastral/land surveyor marks property boundaries, records the information
on plans and maps, and creates property titles. They must be licensed to do
this work, as the plans they make provide the basis for legal transactions of
land.
Mine Surveyor
A mine surveyor measures underground and open-cut mines in detail. Their
surveys help mining organisations locate new mines safely, avoid older mines,
and allow connections to be made between different underground passages. Mine
surveyors also establish the boundaries of mining claims in some states and
territories.
Topographic Surveyor
A topographic surveyor provides information for the compilation of maps of
physical features of the Earth’s surface (such as hills, valleys, rivers and
lakes) by making field measurements and taking aerial photographs. They work
on, above or below the surface of the land or sea, and often work with other
professionals.
Geodetic Surveyor
A geodetic surveyor uses signals from satellites such as the global
positioning system (GPS), star observations, precise levelling and electronic
distance measurements to locate positions accurately on the Earth’s surface
for global mapping, and to monitor movements of the Earth’s crust.
Hydrographic Surveyor
A hydrographic surveyor maps the physical features of oceans, seas, rivers and
lakes and the adjacent land.
Engineering Surveyor
An engineering surveyor surveys routes for railways, roads, pipelines, canals,
sewers and tunnels, and undertakes detailed surveys of construction sites, dam
sites, multistorey buildings and other engineering projects.
