Individual Occupational Requirements for
GS-1374: Geodetic Technician Series
The text below is extracted verbatim from
Section IV-B of the Operating Manual for Qualification Standards
for General Schedule Positions (p.IV-B-193), but contains minor edits
to conform to web-page requirements.
Use these individual occupational requirements in conjunction with
the "Group Coverage Qualification Standard for
Technical and Medical Support Positions."
Examples of qualifying specialized experience
include:
- Experience acquired in connection with the planning of horizontal and vertical control
networks.
- The computation of geographic positions, grid coordinates, elevations, or the elements of
map projections, or the preparation of technical reports and diagrams showing the status of
geodetic survey projects.
- The evaluation of control networks.
Experience in field survey work, such as the making of accurate measurements and the field computations
required for the establishment of third-order (or higher order) horizontal and vertical control to extend or
supplement a national control network, may be considered as specialized experience and be credited on a
year-for-year basis.
