rodman
Surveyor's pole bearer
A rodman is a surveyor's assistant who holds the leveling rod—a graduated pole used to measure elevation differences.
The rodman positions the rod at designated points while the surveyor takes readings through the instrument.
The term reflects older job titles ending in -man: He started as a rodman before becoming a licensed surveyor.
