I <br /> download and reduce field data, create maps of downloaded data and have an <br /> ability to work with contractors in relaying information and understanding and <br /> <br /> i anticipating their need for information. It is also extremely helpful to attend <br /> conferences and training sessions to stay current with developing technologies <br /> ~ and methods. <br /> Atypical process would be researching the "Common Mapping" files to locate <br /> existing monumentation which would provide horizontal and vertical co-ordinates <br /> then going into the field and setting up surveying equipment to observe these <br /> monuments and establish new points from them. From these points, a traverse is <br /> established. A traverse is a system of physical points on the ground of which the <br /> relative distances and angles are measured and recorded. The traverse is either <br /> I, completed and then reduced in the office fo determine the accuracy or at once <br /> used to begin collection of boundary, topographic or planimetric information. <br /> This collection of data is the result of measurements of distances and angles to <br /> existing structures above ground as observed by the Engineering Technician and <br /> <br /> ~ below ground as marked on the ground by outside agencies. <br /> This data is then dowloaded into the computer system in the office and used to <br /> create a plan indicating the location of existing structures on the project. Once <br /> the project plans have been created and the project awarded, the Engineering <br /> Technician returns to the field to place wooden stakes in the ground fo indicate to <br /> the contractor the location of the proposed structures that they are to build. This <br /> may have to be done several times throughout the course of the construction <br /> project because the stakes maybe destroyed by the construction efforts. <br /> Estimated time spent: Occasionally through out the year <br /> 10) Please describe your role in RFP processes. <br /> In the search for drafting software 1've provided input as to functionality of <br /> applications and timing of upgrades. <br /> In the purchase of drafting equipment, scanners and printers 1 have researched <br /> equipment capabilities, prices, met with salesmen and developers of equipment, <br /> compatibility with software and peripherals currently in use by PWE, availability <br /> of drivers and general usefulness and need, and submitted my findings to <br /> r <br /> pu chasing. <br /> In the search for peripheral devices I've provided detailed information on the <br /> availability of devices and their compatibility with our current inventory of PCs <br /> and operating systems and range of prices. <br /> In the search for Pocket PCs 1 provided detailed information as to availability, <br /> usefulness, reliability, length of usefulness, software needs and compatibility, <br /> prices and available peripheral devices. <br /> Estimated time spent: Occasionally <br /> Engineering Technician Position Review 10 January 2004 <br /> <br />
