What are the working conditions like?
Land surveying is a career for those who want to combine their
professional and technical skills in both the office and the outdoors.
Land surveyors may work outdoors in urban and rural environments
while some have management responsibilities and spend more time in the
office.
Most new Alberta Land Surveyors find employment with surveying
firms. Often they remain with these companies but some pursue
opportunities with government, utility companies or other geomatics
corporations.
 Many choose to start their own surveying company or be partners in an existing survey company.
Land Surveyors are becoming increasingly involved in geographic
information systems and global positioning and are a part of exciting projects like the Channel between England and France or the
Confederation Bridge between New Brunswick and PEI. |
