Role Purpose

Key Responsibilities

• Plan daily and weekly survey work, line and station assignments, and crew priorities; track progress and adjust for terrain, access, equipment, or data-quality constraints.
• Lead crews and support GEM Systems GSM-19 v9.0 Overhauser magnetometer setup, walking acquisition, console use, troubleshooting, and safe handling.
• Oversee QA/QC for completeness, continuity, positioning, noise, spikes, gaps, and repeat-survey decisions.
• Transfer, validate, organize, back up, and process daily data in GEMLink+ or approved software, including diurnal correction, profiling, line-path review, and basic mapping or modeling as needed.
• Manage GPS/GNSS navigation and positioning, including coordinate and line guidance and configured SBAS, DGPS, or RTK workflows.
• Train and coach crew leads and field personnel on acquisition, equipment, positioning, QA/QC, data workflow, troubleshooting, and safe work.
