Individual Occupational Requirements for

GS-1374:    Geodetic Technician Series

Use these individual occupational requirements in conjunction with the "Group Coverage Qualification Standard for Technical and Medical Support Positions."

Specialized Experience (for positions at GS-4 and above): 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.
