Salary Information

A starting salary may be negotiated and will be commensurate with education, training, and experience in alignment with pay administration policies and Montgomery Personnel Board Rules & Regulations.
Nature of Work
The fundamental reason this classification exists is to perform entry-level survey engineering work in the field as part of a survey crew. As experience is acquired, the incumbent will perform with increasing independence. Responsibilities include working as the instrument person with the surveying crew or performing as a lead worker when the crew chief is absent. This classification differs from the Engineering Technician IIs in that the assignments are more complex and require a higher level of independent decision-making. Specific work assignments are received from the Professional Land Surveyor, however, the work is conducted under the direct supervision of the Engineering Technician II and is typically reviewed during progress and upon completion.
