Support the production of products using photogrammetric techniques, navigation systems and GPS technologies, to create a map product from data collected in the field. This work typically involves supporting project timelines and deliverables using conventional methods and techniques. At this level, geologists or geographers, can perform scientific work with oversight from supervisors and higher-level colleagues. Products will be monitored through communication of progress.
