This week's episode of “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast helps to explain the value of the Certified Survey Technician (CST) program from the perspective of an employee and future leader. Your host, Tim Burch, recently chatted with John Vrablec, CST III from just outside the Houston, Texas area. John shared his story discovering the CST program, working his way up to the Level III Construction certification, and becoming a role model for his staff. He shared the importance of proper training and certification in his world of high-definition scanning and modelling of mechanical and industrial facilities. Another great example of how surveying and geospatial careers transcends well beyond boundary retracement!
