Miners can't drive a drift properly without surveyors marking it up. They rely on us to mark up the centerline of a drift so they can drive a drift straight ahead where the planner has laid it out to go. Marking up involves drilling a nail with a red reflector square into the surrounding rocks at a specific spot. Using paint, we write symbols and instructions for the miners on the walls of a drift.

My calculations have to be accurate, so being organized and detail-oriented is an asset. With time and experience, I'll get faster at setting up the station and doing calculations off the top of my head.
