Level I:    
This is the basic level where incumbents will initially perform a variety of land and geodetic surveying tasks in a training status under close supervision by a licensed Professional Land Surveyor.  Incumbents will perform basic land and geodetic surveying tasks such as the review of less complex surveys, performance of basic surveying computations, writing reports and performing survey network adjustments using sophisticated computer software.

Level II:     
This is the career level where incumbents are experienced Land Surveyor Interns who perform advanced technical land and geodetic surveying duties in support of major projects and programs.  This level is given more latitude in making decisions in providing advice and guidance but is still under the significant supervisory oversight of a Professional Land Surveyor.  The level of responsibility assumed, the complexity of projects assigned and the level of supervision required will change as the incumbent advances through this level.

Level I:    
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of an associate’s degree in land surveying.

Level II:    
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as a Land Surveyor Intern by the Oklahoma State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.
