Surveyors and Spatial Scientists plan, direct and conduct survey work to determine and delineate boundaries and features of tracts of land, marine floors and underground works, prepare and revise maps, charts and other geographic products, and analyse, present and maintain geographical information about locations in space and time.
You usually need a formal qualification in a relevant field to work as a Surveyor or Spatial Scientist. University and Vocational Education and Training (VET) are both common study pathways.
