Geodesist

Description

The Geodesist is responsible for developing and maintaining survey control standards, control plans, and layouts for

aerial mapping projects of all sizes, and for developing scope and fee for applicable work and overseeing its execution.

This role processes GNSS control networks in Trimble Business Center, applying extremely detailed knowledge of

coordinate systems, datums, and projections along with Static, RTK, and VRS collection methods to ensure geodetic

accuracy and consistency across project deliverables. This is a technical role that requires strong theoretical knowledge

in addition to practical experience. Based within the Remote Sensing department, the Geodesist works closely with

Westwood's Survey department, Project Leads, and field crews to establish, plan, and report project control that

supports survey-grade accuracy for aerial mapping projects.
