- Carrying and lifting survey/UAS equipment (up to 75 lbs).
- Work outdoors in sun, rain, cold, mud, and rough terrain.
- Collect and organize field data for mapping, boundary surveys, and construction projects.
- Record accurate field notes, sketches, and barcode scans for asset tracking.
- Ensure proper care, transport, and maintenance of survey and UAS equipment.
- Follow safety standards and assist with field risk assessments.
