Thanks, Land Butcher. I almost forgot, also if you are interested in moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, check the web site they may have some openings as well. I don't work up there so I am not sure what they have, again please check the web site.

There are so many surveyors and CEs out of work the companies are picking and choosing and making specific requirements to narrow the applicants.
A single opening caltans CE job here had 1500 applicants.

I don’t understand the specific requirements. I have staked miles upon miles of different types of pipelines in my career. But I am unqualified because some of those pipelines relied upon gravity for flow and carried either sewage or storm water or it was a pressurized domestic water supply where grades didn’t matter. None of them carried oil or gas, to which I imagine the oil pipeline is also pressurized?

If you know how to stake something, you can stake anything. Sure the grade maybe given to a different location such as top of pipe instead of flow line, but its still staking.

Transportation also makes me wonder what it entails. What is so hard about giving an offset to edge of pavement or curb face with a grade to either finished surface or top of curb?

Granted that moving from wanting to survey in California to actually surveying in Texas is going to entail a learning curve, but I think the staking part of that is the smallest of the learning curves. But then maybe I am missing something?

Just FYI. in our Oil and Gas, the actual staking is about 5-10% of a party chiefs job, the experiance that everyone is looking for is the Data Collection, you will have about 12 descriptions to every one stored shot, you stand and wait for a welder to get done then you have to go shoot it before the dozer covers it up. the Data has to be in a GIS format that is industry standard to be tracked by the federal government. One single typo can get you tossed from the job. You may work 80 hours and only get 20 points done. Your data records everything, right down to the names of who is welding to tracking the pipe back to the manufacture and batch it was made from, and the truck it arrived on.
