ENGINEERING AID III 5.160
Duties Summary:
Operates a level in connection with field surveying; reduce and
plots field notes; does construction inspection; operates a transit
as -an incidental assignment for the purpose of learning; and performs
other duties as required.
Di- stinguishinq Characteristics:
This class differs from that of Engineering Aid II in that the
En-gineering Aid III primarily operates the level on a field survey
p.a-rty or works as a head chainman; whereas, the Engineering Aid 11
.primarily performs work as a rodman or chainman and may operate a
Level for the purpose of training.
This class differs from that of Engineering Aid IV in that the
En -gineering Aid III operates a level or works as head chainman as a
pr-i--mary duty; whereas, the Engineering Aid IV operates a transit as
a .primary assignment and may supervise a survey party on routine
field survey work.
