  • Ability to communicate clearly, follow instructions, and work collaboratively with technical teams.
  • Ability to travel for several days at a time, as required by project needs.


Preferred


  • Internship, coursework, or project experience with 3D laser scanning, surveying instruments, or point cloud workflows.
  • Familiarity with Leica Cyclone, NavVis Ivion, Revit, and/or AutoCAD (not required).
