Where is "Jim Gillis, Survey Manager" licensed??ÿ Not in California
Too many fancy dancy words for this hick.?ÿ Had to look up the reference to having a license that is UNTRAMMELED.?ÿ Never heard of such a term.?ÿ I guess that means my license is trammeled.?ÿ Don't know who trammeled it.?ÿ I would bet this licensed employee would be the first and only employee having a license to do boundary surveying in California.
-
not deprived of freedom of action or expression; not restricted or hampered."a mind untrammeled by convention"?ÿ
Continually required to talk or hear?ÿ
I'm out.
non-satellite-based
Does this mean no GNSS work allowed? Or does it have to do with satellite offices?
I mean, if you're based out of a particular office, by definition it's not a satellite, and therefore you are not satellite-based.
(Sorry, my inner pedant was feeling...untrammeled.)
- Continually required to utilize hand and finger dexterity?ÿ
.. drops a binder of printed screenshots of my video gaming history, experience points and online battle ratings
Continually required to sit?ÿ
So no treadmill desk or, better yet, a batting cage desk!
I was approached by a recruiter from this group for a Rodman position.?ÿ I kindly declined and gave them a brief outlay of what survey people and job names generally refer to, and that a Rodman is usually the guy that's never worked in survey and the starting point in the career path...I got a pithy response and hollow thanks for the heads up ....I surely felt trammelled.
That's a hilarious description.?ÿ ?ÿWhat a mouthful.?ÿ ?ÿFrom what I can tell, they want a licensed surveyor to be somewhere between the project manager and the field crews??ÿ ?ÿ I'd really love to know the salary range for this wonderful opportunity!?ÿ?ÿ
All joking aside your ad listing the job description reads like a short novel and little too much like a Dilbert cartoon.
?ÿ
BTW, a trammel is something like a street car.
If the ad for the job is ridiculous, then so will the working conditions be ridiculous.
A Photogrammetry/Lidar company?
Might be cool to work for, little if any liability.?ÿ
Here is what VeriDaaS turns up in a Google search.?ÿ Click on Company to find their homes are Denver and Calgary.
Translation - We need a surveyor to shoot/sign off on ground control...Hard pass.
@holy-cow yeah same here. Gave me a chuckle though reading through the whole deal.
