Highway Surveys

This certification program is for engineering technicians involved in field and/or office aspects of highway surveying. The technician, when reaching Level IV (senior grade), will have had experience in a variety of activities such as horizontal and vertical measurements, traversing, cross-sectioning, staking, mapping, photogrammetry, land descriptions, and platting.

Highway Surveys comprises four levels of certification. Level I is designed for trainees and entry-level technicians who perform limited job tasks under frequent supervision, Level II is for technicians who perform routine tasks under general daily supervision, Level III is for intermediate-level technicians who, under little or no daily supervision, work with standards, plans, specifications, and instructions, and Level IV is for independent, senior-level technicians whose work includes supervising others. Certification at Levels II, III, and IV does not require prior certification at the lower level, but it does require meeting the certification requirements of the lower levels.
