Hydrographic surveyor jobs in Finland
Hydrographic surveyors measure and map, by means of specialised equipment, marine environments. They collect scientific data in order to study the underwater topography and morphology of bodies of water.
Hydrographic surveyor - Which skills are essential?
The scientific discipline that studies gathering, storing, and processing geographic information.
Gather and process descriptive data by using documents such as sketches, drawings and notes.
The technique of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them.
Write a survey report containing information on property boundaries, the height and depth of the terrain, etc..
Collect and conserve mapping resources and mapping data.
The study of interpreting the elements depicted in maps, the measures and technical specifications.
Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change. It involves the identification of patterns and formulating new conjectures based on them. Mathematicians strive to prove the truth or falsity of these conjectures. There are many fields of mathematics, some of which are widely used for practical applications.
Complete and file all required administrative, operational and technical documents related to a survey operation.
Have an understanding of surveying methods, remote sensing methods and equipment.
Graphic representation of the surface features of a place or region on a map indicating their relative positions and elevations.
The scientific discipline that combines applied mathematics and earth sciences in order to measure and represent the Earth. It studies phenomena such as gravitational fields, polar motion, and tides.
Perform calculations and gather technical data in order to determine earth curvature corrections, traverse adjustments and closures, level runs, azimuths, marker placements, etc.
Correct and adjust the reliability of an electronic instrument by measuring output and comparing results with the data of a reference device or a set of standardised results. This is done in regular intervals which are set by the manufacturer and using calibration devices.
Conduct subaquatic surveys to measure and map the underwater topography and morphology of bodies of water in order to aid the planning of aquaculture projects, the construction of marine constructions, and the exploration of natural resources.
Operate and adjust measuring instruments such as theodolites and prisms, and other electronic distance-measuring tools.
The scientific discipline that studies underwater topography.
Ensure accuracy of measurement by adjusting surveying equipment.
The scientific discipline that studies and measures the physical features of bodies of water such as oceans, lakes and rivers. It studies the current situation for navigational purposes and predicts change over time.
Determine the accuracy of data by comparing computations with applicable standards.
Hydrographic surveyor - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Participate in the collection of geological data such as core logging, geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveying, digital data capture, etc.
The tools involved in geographical mapping and positioning, such as GPS (global positioning systems), GIS (geographical information systems), and RS (remote sensing).
Work with computer data systems such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Gather and organise GIS-data from sources such as databases and maps.
Develop geological databases in order to acquire and organise information.
Analyse and interpret survey data acquired from a wide variety of sources e.g. satellite surveys, aerial photography and laser measurement systems.
The scientific discipline that studies oceanic phenomena such as marine organisms, plate tectonics, and the geology of the ocean bottom.
Use aerial photos to study phenomena on Earth's surface.
Solid earth, rock types, structures and the processes by which they are altered.
Make maps by formatting compiled data into a virtual image that gives a precise representation of a specific area.
Operate and steer vessels such as cruise ships, ferries, tankers, and container ships.
Use various techniques such as choropleth mapping and dasymetric mapping to create thematic maps based on geospatial information, using software programmes.
Use computer-aided design (CAD) systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimisation of a design.
Interpret data of a geophysical nature: Earth's shape, its gravitational and magnetic fields, its structure and composition, and geophysical dynamics and their surface expression in plate tectonics.
Use relevant geographic informations systems to create reports and maps based on geospatial information, using GIS software programmes.
Acquire information about property and its boundaries before the survey by searching legal records, survey records, and land titles.
The scientific discipline that studies the land, phenomena, characteristics and inhabitants of Earth. This field seeks to understand the natural and man-made complexities of Earth.
Give advice on design, safety issues, and cost reduction to architects during the pre-application phase.
Assist engineers or scientists with conducting experiments, performing analysis, developing new products or processes, constructing theory, and quality control.
Assist in the installation and deployment of hydrographic surveying equipment.
Gather data in the field using Global Positioning System (GPS) devices.
Provide information on geological structures, host rock quality, groundwater implications and details on the mineralogical and textural composition of ores to enable mining and processing to be planned efficiently. The geological model is used to design the mine workings for minimum dilution and maximum ore extraction.
Design new equipment or adapt existing equipment to aid scientists in gathering and analysing data and samples.
Prepare geological sections, a vertical view of the local geology.
