[QUOTE="Yellowyj, post: 675612, member: 3504"] I have a degree in civil engineering, but work for a general contractor doing civil management. I did highway design for about 5 years before transitioning into civil construction as a project manager for a grading contractor and now work for a GC doing mostly civil budgets for developers, bidding civil work and managing civil construction. I feel into a great position at my current job and really enjoy it. I work with a lot of different civil engineers as well as surveyors, geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers, and etc. The world of surveying is moving to GPS and seems like everyone is relying on a computer model now days. It amazes me at how much is based upon and built from a computer model now days. Most of your heavy equipment is GPS or laser controlled now. Most of the new curb machines run from GPS models and not from the string lines. Hard to find someone who still knows how to lay something out without using GPS. With that being said a surveyor is still required, but they spend less time on jobs then they use to. I would be glad to answer any questions you have. I have some contacts with many firms (geotechs, surveyors, engineers, sub-contractors, and etc.) in the Knoxville area as we have done projects up there. I am currently getting ready to start a project in Cookeville with a grading contractor and civil engineer from Knoxville. [/QUOTE]
