Surveying technician jobs in Finland
Surveying technicians carry out technical surveying tasks. They assist surveyors, architects or engineers in surveying related technical tasks such as mapping land, creating construction drawings and operating precise measuring equipment
Surveying technician - 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..
Implement safety programmes to comply with national laws and legislation. Ensure that equipment and processes are compliant with safety regulations.
The study of interpreting the elements depicted in maps, the measures and technical specifications.
The tools involved in geographical mapping and positioning, such as GPS (global positioning systems), GIS (geographical information systems), and RS (remote sensing).
Conduct surveys to determine the location and features of natural and man-made structures, on surface level as well as underground and underwater. Operate electronic distance-measuring equipment and digital measuring instruments.
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.
Gain, correct or improve knowledge about phenomena by using scientific methods and techniques, based on empirical or measurable observations.
Create technical designs and technical drawings using specialised software.
Drawing software and the various symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles and page layouts used in technical drawings.
Techniques on how to identify a target audience, choose the right survey method and analyse the data.
Examine the precision instruments and assess whether the instrument meets the quality standards and production specifications. Correct and adjust the reliability by measuring output and comparing results with the data of a reference device or a set of standardised results.
Have an understanding of surveying methods, remote sensing methods and equipment.
Analyse and interpret survey data acquired from a wide variety of sources e.g. satellite surveys, aerial photography and laser measurement systems.
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.
Operate and adjust measuring instruments such as theodolites and prisms, and other electronic distance-measuring tools.
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.
Ensure accuracy of measurement by adjusting surveying equipment.
Determine the accuracy of data by comparing computations with applicable standards.
Surveying technician - 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.
Investments and urban development agreements. Legislative developments regarding construction in terms of environmental, sustainability, social and financial matters.
The engineering elements like functionality, replicability, and costs in relation to the design and how they are applied in the completion of engineering projects.
Collect and conserve mapping resources and mapping data.
Adjust designs of products or parts of products so that they meet requirements.
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.
The systematic approach to the development and maintenance of engineering systems.
The engineering discipline that studies the design, construction and maintenance of naturally built works such as roads, buildings, and canals.
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.
Use various techniques such as choropleth mapping and dasymetric mapping to create thematic maps based on geospatial information, using software programmes.
Establish the boundaries of properties using surveying equipment.
Examine and evaluate land and buildings in order to make valuations about their price.
Use computer-aided design (CAD) systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimisation of a design.
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.
Gather data in the field using Global Positioning System (GPS) devices.
Prepare geological sections, a vertical view of the local geology.
