Post a Job →What Does a Rod Person Do?
A rod person (rodman or chainman) is the entry-level member of a survey crew, holding the prism pole or level rod, clearing lines, setting stakes and monuments and searching for property corners.
Rod persons work on field crews at survey firms, engineering firms and contractors, and the job needs no prior experience, making it the usual way into surveying.
Rod Person Salary
BLS counts rod and chain staff inside surveying and mapping technicians (17-3031), which also includes experienced technicians, so entry-level crew pay sits toward the low end.
