• Knowledge of the use and operation of CADD and mapping software and equipment associated with photogrammetric processes used to generate mapping.

• Experience reviewing routine or simple photogrammetric mapping, lidar mapping, or engineering surveys for compliance with established mapping standards and specifications.

• Experience expressing routine or simple technical facts and maintaining records and work-specific notes in a clear, concise, and organized manner.
