Tools Fully Providedย
Youโll receive all the equipment you need, from advanced tech devices to measurement tools. We set you up so you can work efficiently on your own.ย

What Weโre Looking Forย
Weโre seeking someone who enjoys structured, independent work. You will have a lot of autonomy in this role with the ability to set up a lot of your daily schedule. Youโll succeed if you can:ย
- Travel out of state MondayโFriday (home most weekends)ย
- Use your own reliable vehicle capable of carrying a 6-foot ladder and long-distance travelย
- Work outdoors in all weather conditions, climb ladders up to 30 feet, and lift up to 50 lbs.ย
- Use technology confidently (iPads, laptops, mobile apps, photography technology)ย
- Follow detailed instructions with accuracy and careย
- Stay focused, organized, and self-motivated while working aloneย
What Your Day Looks Likeย
Youโll independently drive or fly to commercial propertiesโlike shopping centers, warehouses, or office parksโto capture precise data. This includes using 3D cameras, laser measurement tools, and specialized software to document:ย
- Building measurementsย
- Sprinkler and HVAC locationsย
- Windows, signage, and landscapingย
- Utility meters, dumpsters, and parking detailsย
- Interior and exterior features requiring accurate documentation
Most of your time is spent gathering data, taking measurements, and then inputting data while ensuring accuracy. Communication with property managers to gather access information is necessary for appointments and arrival times. Overall, while communication is minimal, you must be comfortable assertively and proactively reaching out to your Regional Manager as well as asking questions to trainers, mentors, and peers. Communication happens remotely and is typically brief and professional but must be clear.ย
Youโll Be a Great Fit If You Have Experience In:ย
Site surveys, inspections, CAD, or GIS mapping, and data entryย
Construction, HVAC, electrical, or similar hands-on fieldsย
Land surveying, utility locating, archaeology, drone photography, or other remote fieldwork ย
Veterans are welcome!ย
Why This Role Stands Outย
If you enjoy traveling, working quietly and independently, and using technology to help support solving problems, this role offers a unique blend of autonomy, routine, and adventure. Youโll explore new locations, build technical skills, and create accurate property data that drives decision-making in the commercial real estate industry.
As part of our commitment to employee development, you'll also have the opportunity to receive company-sponsored drone training and earn your FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification. We'll provide the training, cover the certification costs, and supply the equipmentโgiving you the opportunity to expand your skills with cutting-edge technology while growing your career.
There is room for growth, mentoring others, and even movement within other departments if youโve demonstrated success in the field.ย
