Geodesists perform specialized professional and technical work involving the determination of geodetic control by calculating the exact horizontal and vertical position of points on the earth's surface. This data is utilized in preliminary engineering design work, aerial surveying, general planimetric mapping and for other land surveying purposes. Essential Qualifications Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in math, physics, civil engineering, land surveying or closely related field and one year of progressively responsible experience involving civil engineering, surveying or photogrammetric work; OR one year of experience as a Geodesist I in Nevada State service; OR an equivalent combination of education and experience as described above.

Job Duties Compute horizontal coordinates of control networks utilizing standard geodetic survey techniques such as triangulation, trilateration and traversing; compute vertical coordinates for control networks using the theory and practice of direct leveling on various projects to establish elevation, height and grade representing the features of the earth's surface; compare horizontal and vertical networks to established survey standards; make adjustments to the control networks, document, verify values and compare to established horizontal control. Assess existing control and acquire additional survey control for engineering projects; analyze existing control and raw survey data to ensure desired project specifications and land survey standards are met; verify newly collected survey data for mathematical correctness; request additional survey data when field collection errors occur or engineering surveying specifications are not maintained. Compute coordinates on the various geographic grid systems, do conversions between the systems and correlate existing surveys to match the required geodetic or rectangular cartesian coordinate systems; convert data between various national datum and further to a ground elevation dependent grid; compute, retrace and adjust existing surveys such as highway alignments, property boundaries, utilities, old control surveys and other miscellaneous surveys to match the ground elevation dependent grid, geodetic grids, and property boundaries as desired to ensure accuracy and continuity of data used on engineering, surveying and construction works.

Maintain geodetic data and related information and enter into computer database including coordinates, their descriptions, and quality assurance numbers; distribute compiled geodetic data upon request to various State and local agencies, sections within the department and the general public. Create a survey control plan sheet for inclusion into contract plans and further verify contract plans for completeness of survey information by reviewing and checking contract alignments and basis of surveys. Provide training and interpretation in the use of geodetic data, methods and procedures for observing and checking control for geodetic and State plane coordinates to ensure standards are maintained; review existing standards, controls and equipment utilized by the department and recommend changes, improvements or modifications.

Perform related duties as assigned. Under general supervision, incumbents continue to receive training and gain experience in performing duties described in the series concept. Work is reviewed on a regular basis.

This is the second training level in the series, and progression to the journey level may occur upon meeting minimum qualifications and with the recommendation of the appointing authority. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities This class specification lists the major knowledge, skills and abilities of the job and is not all inclusive. Incumbent(s) will be expected to have knowledge, skills and abilities from a previous level.

Working knowledge of: algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus and statistics used in determining geodetic coordinates; the functions of the different divisions of the department to obtain needed information and/or where to direct questions; and federal, State and local offices to coordinate and research geodetic data; national and international standards for geodetic control. General knowledge of: Nevada Revised Statutes Chapters 329 and 625; and Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 625; classification and acquisition standards applicable to geodetic, construction, and land surveying projects; U.S. rectangular survey system and Bureau of Land Management's restoration of lost and obliterated corners and subdivisions of sections; photogrammetric techniques; computer software and design programs for use in geodetic work Ability to: adapt to changes in workload and adjust priorities quickly as circumstances dictate; read and interpret a variety of technical manuals, including geodetic triangulation; make proper adjustments to coordinates based on geodetic control data; establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with co-workers and the public; communicate effectively to obtain information, describe situations and explain data; use field instruments for testing, inspection and surveying purposes; and read and interpret maps and construction plans; and all knowledge, skills and abilities required at the lower level
