COUNTY OF KAUAI
LAND SURVEYOR II 5.105
SR -24, BU -13
Duties Summary:
Does the most difficult and complex professional field and office work in
connection with land title, boundary, and Land Court Application surveys; prepares and
supervises the preparation of complex land title, boundary, and subdivision maps and
metes and bounds descriptions; and performs other duties as required.
Distinguishing Characteristics:
This class differs from that of Land Surveyor I in that the Land Surveyor II has
responsibility for difficult and complex assignments in land title, boundary and Land
Court Application surveys where the number of projects are such that the problems of
supervision and coordination are pronounced; whereas, the Land Surveyor I either
conducts less complex land surveys and title and boundary determinations or assists a
higher level professional surveyor in the more complex assignments.
This class differs from that of Land Surveyor III in that the Land Surveyor II is
responsible for major land title, boundary and Land Court Application survey projects;
whereas, the Land Surveyor III is responsible for a large section engaged in land survey
work in connection with the acquisition of rights of way, title claims, condemnations, and
property rights.
Examples of Duties: (The following are examples of duties and are not necessarily
descriptive of any one position in this class. The omission of specific duties statements
does not preclude management from assigning such duties if such duties are a logical
assignment for the position.)

• As chief of a survey party for the most difficult and complex title and boundary
surveys, including classification and detail surveys of large tracts of publicly -
owned lands, Land Court Application and File Plan, and right -of -way surveys,
Subdivision and contour surveys; such surveys involve proper land title and
boundary establishments, proper correction of old magnetic surveys to true
azimuth surveys, conversion of azimuths taken from two or more triangulation

traverses to a high degree of accuracy; occasionally, triangulations to the first
order of accuracy may be involved;
