Drivers are typically up early in the morning, perform equipment checks, fill out their logbooks and have all other paperwork in order. Drivers must stop for required breaks or deliveries which means they will need to have good time management skills to plan out their “on-time delivery.”

Mike Kulzer, Lieutenant
Brainerd Police DepartmentIt varies day to day. Some days you are very busy moving from one call to another. Other days are slower, so you have time to work on training or relaxing. You have to be ready for anything, at any time. When people call 911, it does not matter if it is -30 below or raining cats and dogs, we roll out and help people. We start the day at our station, prepping the trucks and checking to make sure our equipment is ready for action. Once calls start coming in we are moving in many different directions until the day comes to an end. In between calls we are cleaning, stocking and writing reports. We end the day with finalizing our paperwork and any cleaning that needs to occur.

In the field you would either do work on a residential property or commercial property, or maybe for public infrastructure. Your duties include figuring out property lines and boundaries, as well as construction staking for things like curb, utilities and buildings. Surveyors work with cutting edge equipment like robotic total stations and LiDAR drones. Office surveyors work on CAD software to calculate positions for the field surveyors, and to check the field survey data for accuracy and then prepare certified survey maps of the results.
