We're looking for a Sr. Survey and Reality Capture Technologist who is precise, adaptable, and collaborative — someone who takes ownership of accuracy from the first stake to the final scan.
The title is Sr. Survey and Reality Capture Technologist. The real job is turning design data into precise, buildable reality on the ground, then capturing that reality back into data every other team can trust.
Your Day-to-Day
Layout & Survey
- Translate geospatial data and interpret civil, architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical design documentation for survey and layout.
- Operate total stations, GPS units, and terrestrial laser scanners for point collection, layout, staking, benchmarking, and reality capture.
- Coordinate layout services directly with onsite project teams.
- Build and maintain strong client and team relationships throughout the surveying process.
- Train and mentor survey staff and drafting technicians through onsite instruction and hands-on guidance.
- Assist with project management, estimates, and proposals to keep deliverables on time and on budget.
Reality Capture
- Operate UAVs for photographic and video capture.
- Convert and edit photo and video data for project and marketing teams.
- Convert photographic data into 3D photogrammetry models.
- Capture as-built conditions using high-definition laser scanning.
- Convert and format lidar data for use in authoring software and design documentation.
The Right Fit
You're a strong fit if you:
- Have 3–5+ years of relevant field experience in surveying, construction layout, and construction technology.
- Hold an associate degree in Surveying Management, Construction Management, Civil Engineering Technology, Architectural Design Technology, or a similar field — or equivalent experience.
- Have (or can obtain within 4 months of hire) an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification.
- Bring experience with Trimble equipment and software, Autodesk products, Microsoft Office, Open Space, or Revizto.
- Understand surveying practices, laser scanning, drone operations, and basic BIM processes.
- Communicate clearly and professionally with clients and team members, with strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Are comfortable working outdoors at commercial construction sites, including uneven surfaces and heights, in varying weather conditions.
- Hold a valid driver's license and can travel between job sites (up to 10%).

Passionate — you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.
Dedicated — you show up fully every day. When things get hard — and they will — you stay engaged.
Thorough — details matter. You don't hand something off or close it out until it's done right.
Respectful — you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It's not situational here — it's the standard.
