As a surveyor, you determine the location of legal property lines. Surveyors compile data and legal documents known as surveys for mapping or building real estate projects. You can be hired by homeowners, businesses, or government agencies to work on various types of projects, from assessing property lines for commercial construction or the sale of a private home, to providing data on where to build roads. Surveyors frequently work for engineering firms, but many also find jobs with construction companies or local governments. You may also prepare sketches, take measurements of work sites, and calculate estimates.
| Aspect | Surveying | Civil Engineering |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Surveying license or certification, degree in surveying or geomatics | Engineering degree, PE license in civil engineering |
| Work Environment | Outdoor, fieldwork, construction sites, land development | Office, design projects, construction sites, infrastructure planning |
| Industry Usage | Land development, construction, mapping, GIS | Infrastructure, transportation, water resources, structural projects |
Surveying and civil engineering are related fields but differ in focus. Surveying primarily involves land measurement, mapping, and boundary determination, often in outdoor environments. Civil engineering encompasses designing, planning, and managing infrastructure projects, with a broader scope that includes structural and environmental considerations. Both professions require specific credentials and often collaborate on construction projects, but their core responsibilities and work settings differ significantly.
