Mobile Navvis Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Mobile Navvis information

What skills and qualifications are needed to work as a Mobile Navvis operator?

To thrive as a Mobile Mapping Technician using NavVis, you need knowledge of geospatial data collection, surveying principles, and often a background in GIS or engineering. Familiarity with NavVis mobile mapping systems, point cloud processing software, and data management tools is essential. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication set outstanding technicians apart. These skills ensure accurate data capture, high-quality deliverables, and efficient collaboration in mapping and surveying projects.

What challenges do Mobile Navvis operators face when capturing spatial data in complex environments?

Mobile Navvis Operators often encounter challenges such as navigating crowded or cluttered spaces, dealing with reflective surfaces or poor lighting, and ensuring complete data coverage without gaps. These situations require operators to carefully plan their routes and adjust scanning techniques on the fly. Collaborating closely with facility managers or site personnel can help mitigate obstacles and ensure access to all required areas. Being detail-oriented and adaptable is crucial to producing high-quality, accurate spatial datasets.

What is a Mobile Navvis?

A Mobile NavVis is a mobile mapping system that uses advanced sensors, such as LiDAR and cameras, to capture highly accurate 3D data of indoor environments. It is often used for creating digital twins, generating floor plans, and documenting large buildings or complex spaces quickly and efficiently. The system is typically operated by a person who moves the device through the area to scan, and the collected data can be used for facility management, construction, and real estate purposes.

What is the difference between Mobile Navvis vs Mobile GIS Technician?

Job description

Geomatics Technician II (Reality Capture Data Processing & Scan-to-BIM)


About Ayoroa | Simmons

Ayoroa | Simmons, LLC is a specialized professional services firm focused on 3D laser scanning, scan-to-BIM, and BIM coordination for complex facilities and infrastructure. We partner with Government and private-sector clients to create accurate digital representations of the built environment that support better planning, operations, and decision-making.

We are seeking a Geomatics Technician II to take independent ownership of point cloud processing and scan-to-BIM modeling within our growing Reality Capture Department.


Position Overview

This role builds directly on the Geomatics Technician I foundation - independent registration, QC, and processing proficiency - and extends it into full ownership of scan-to-BIM modeling and CAD integration. The Geomatics Technician II works with minimal oversight on standard production work, and brings technical judgment and documentation discipline to more complex, multi-scan projects.


Key Responsibilities

Point Cloud Processing & Scan-to-BIM (primary focus)

  • Independently process and QA/QC point cloud data from terrestrial, mobile, and aerial capture sources
  • Perform scan-to-BIM modeling in Revit, Navisworks, or equivalent software
  • Integrate reality capture data with CAD deliverables in Revit, Civil 3D, MicroStation, or similar
  • Register and align multi-scan datasets to project control independently, resolving registration issues without senior escalation

Data & Workflow Automation

  • Identify and implement automation opportunities across processing and scan-to-BIM workflows
  • Set and maintain file organization and delivery standards for projects you own
  • Strengthen documentation practices so your processing and modeling decisions are traceable and repeatable by others on the team

Field Support

  • Support terrestrial 3D laser scanning, control surveys, and existing-conditions surveys as needed
  • Coordinate field activities with internal teams and project stakeholders to support accuracy and schedule alignment
  • Complete a 30-Hour OSHA Construction Industry training course within 90 days of joining the geospatial team

Team Contribution

  • Support junior technical staff with processing questions as they build toward independent proficiency
  • Additional strategic assignments as assigned by executive leadership


Success Profile

Success in this role looks like demonstrated independent ownership of point cloud processing and scan-to-BIM modeling on standard and moderately complex projects, evidenced by clean QA/QC outcomes, proactive communication on data issues, and documentation clear enough for another team member to pick up the work.


Qualifications

Required:

  • Demonstrated proficiency in terrestrial LiDAR capture and processing projects
  • B.S. in engineering, geomatics, or a related technical field is the priority qualification; demonstrated equivalent experience is an accepted substitute
  • Independent experience with point cloud registration and processing (e.g., Leica Register360, Cyclone, NavVis Ivion)
  • Proficiency with scan-to-BIM modeling software (Revit, Navisworks, or equivalent)
  • Strong documentation habits and QA/QC discipline
  • Valid driver's license
  • Comfortable with occasional fieldwork and travel (up to 50%)

Preferred:

  • ASPRS certification pursuit (e.g., Certified Mapping Technician)
  • Experience with cross-software workflows (e.g., Revit, TopoDOT, Cyclone 3DR)
  • Exposure to UAV-based imaging or LiDAR data workflows
  • EIT certification or equivalent technical credential


Why Join Us

At Ayoroa | Simmons, we invest in people and technology to deliver exceptional results in geomatics, remote sensing, and spatial data production. You will not be siloed into a single task - you will have direct influence over how our team grows, what tools we adopt, and which clients and markets we pursue. We offer:

  • 401(k) with 4% company match
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Employee referral program
