From Home Traffic Data Collection Jobs in Colorado

Citylogix is a data and analytics company transforming how transportation infrastructure is managed. We build intelligent GIS and asset management solutions that help municipalities and engineering partners make smarter, evidence-based decisions. Combining startup agility with deep technical expertise, our team works at the intersection of geospatial technology and civil infrastructure to solve real-world challenges and build smarter, more resilient communities.

This is a single, multi-modal field role. Every technician on the Data Collection team is trained and expected to operate all our collection systems:

• Driving our LiDAR-equipped collection vehicle for roadway and pavement projects
• Riding our survey e-scooters to collect video and geospatial data across sidewalk networks
• Working on foot to measure and assess curb ramps and sidewalk condition

Assignments are driven by project requirements, not by individual preference or specialisation. A single project may require all three modes in the same week — or the same day. Individual preference won't be considered in assignments.

This is also a collection-only role. You capture data in the field using Citylogix's proprietary devices, applications, and methods; all processing, analysis, and deliverable production is handled by our office-based Processing, AI, and GIS teams. Your responsibility is to bring back complete, accurate, well-documented field data — and to transfer it each day using our software and verification procedures.

This role has travel, schedule, and physical demands that differ substantially from a typical field job. We would rather be direct about them now than have you discover them in week three of a deployment.

• You will travel, and often travel alone. Technicians are frequently deployed to project sites independently rather than as part of a crew.
• Deployments run for weeks at a time. Length is set by project scope and client schedule.
• During high season, you stay in the field. We cover travel to and from each deployment, accommodation, and per diem, but do not routinely provide interim return flights home between assignments during peak periods.
• Time off requires four weeks' notice, so that crew coverage and project schedules can be planned around it.
• Early starts. Shifts commonly begin at 6:00 AM and run 8–10 hours to make full use of available daylight.
• 5 to 6 days per week while deployed, including occasional weekend work and overtime.
• Full physical days in all three modes — up to 8 hours driving, or 8–10 hours riding an e-scooter, or 8–10 hours walking and measuring on foot, or a combination within the same day.
• You handle the gear. Daily setup, mounting, unmounting, and transport of collection equipment, some components exceeding 20 kg.

If those conditions work for you, the rest of this role is a good one: real ownership, clear procedures, and a direct line of sight from your work to a city's capital plan.

What you'll do:

• Operate the collection vehicle and LiDAR system to capture roadway and pavement data on assigned projects.
• Operate survey e-scooters and our mobile collection application to capture video and geospatial data across sidewalk networks.
• Work on foot to collect attributes, measurements, and condition data for sidewalks and curb ramps, including physical measurement of ramp geometry and slopes.
• Follow Citylogix's proprietary collection procedures and use company-provided devices and applications exactly as trained.
• Switch between vehicle, scooter, and on-foot collection as project scope and daily schedules require, according to the scope of the project.
• Transfer collected data daily using company software, following verification procedures exactly.
• Meet delivery and quality targets on every project, and flag data or equipment problems in the field before they reach processing.
• Coordinate daily with other Data Collection team members, field leads, and the office to keep project execution on track.
• Handle daily equipment setup, mounting, care, and transport according to company procedures.

What we're looking for:

• Willingness and physical capability to perform all three collection modes — no technician is limited to a single system.
• Extreme attention to detail, and the discipline to follow procedures exactly rather than approximately.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, and to stay focused across long shifts.
• Comfort with computers, mobile applications, and structured data entry.
• Clear, prompt communication — raising problems early rather than resolving them silently.
• Problem-solving ability in a dynamic field environment where conditions and schedules change.
• Reliability. Crews and project schedules are built around people showing up and delivering.

Requirements:

• Valid U.S. driver's licence in good standing, with a safe driving record.
• Valid passport and ability to cross the Canada–U.S. border for company training sessions and meetings.
• Ability to ride an e-scooter for 8–10 hour shifts and to walk 5–10 km in a day.
• Physical ability to lift, move, mount, and unmount equipment of 20+ kg on a daily basis.
• Willingness to travel for weeks at a time, work overtime, and work occasional weekends.
• Flexibility to sudden changes in schedule, location, and assigned collection type.
• Written and verbal fluency in English.
• High School Diploma / GED.
• Successful completion of a background check and driving record review.

Nice to have:

• Previous in-the-field or on-the-road data collection experience.
• Surveying, civil engineering, or pavement management background.
• Associate degree in science, engineering, or geography/GIS.

Willingness to travel:

• 100% (required)
