A construction surveyor's rod-man stands holding a tall graduated leveling staff upright against his body, steadying it with both hands while sighting along it. He wears a yellow hard hat, a high-visibility orange safety vest over a blue work shirt, jeans and work boots, with safety glasses shading his eyes.

This modern worker fits road-building, construction-site and civil-engineering dioramas. Pair him with a tripod-mounted level and a survey crew to stage a job-site scene on a diorama or model railroad layout, adding authentic present-day infrastructure work.
