To research real estate documents in order to draw (CADD) plats and write descriptions for acquisition of property (fee or easement). Calculate property line locations, run mathematical closures to find exact locations of property lines, calculate exact areas of lands to be acquired, identify discrepancies between adjacent ownerships and locate errors in existing maps and deeds.
Research and compile evidence and documentation for boundary determination; obtain all relevant documentation concerning the location, dimensions, areas, monumentation and other aspects from public records, title reports and survey notes.
Calculate property line locations; run mathematical closures to find exact locations of property lines; calculate exact areas of lands to be acquired; identify discrepancies between adjacent ownerships; locate errors in existing maps and deeds
Draw hard copy maps and plats; write legal descriptions of properties; file with appropriate public authorities.
Check the work of others in the section and the work of private engineers and surveyors who are describing lands to be dedicated to the CLIENT; research and adjust survey data as needed.
Coordinate section activities with those of other organizational units, agencies, consultants and contractors.
Perform complex work on computer applications; convert data as needed for successful task completion; develop standards and procedures related to the unit's computer systems and software applications as assigned; oversee the operations of assigned computer systems; resolve discrepancies; provide staff training as needed.
Create presentations of computer models for surveyors, engineers, geologists and others. Process raw survey data into a variety of requestor specified formats, including maps, charts, HEC-2 and ASCII documents. Perform various mathematical calculations from figures derived from maps and photogrammetric data.
Assist land surveyors, engineers and geologists as needed regarding survey and mapping data. Assist in determining time, labor and cost estimates; provide data needed for change order claims. Supply engineers accurate visual and tabular data representing changes to initial design during construction. Evaluate new software purchases; stay current on new technological innovations and software applications.
