Remote 3D Microstation information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote 3D Microstation Designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote 3D Microstation Designer, you need a strong background in CAD drafting, 3D modeling, and engineering or architectural principles, typically supported by a relevant degree or certification. Proficiency in Bentley MicroStation, 3D visualization tools, and file management systems is essential for this role. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are vital soft skills for collaborating with distributed teams and interpreting project requirements. These skills ensure accurate, high-quality design deliverables and smooth coordination in remote engineering or construction projects.

What are some typical challenges faced by Remote 3D Microstation professionals, and how can they effectively collaborate with team members?

Remote 3D Microstation professionals often work on complex infrastructure or architectural projects where precise modeling and coordination are vital. A common challenge is maintaining clear communication with engineers, architects, and other stakeholders, as remote work can sometimes limit spontaneous feedback. Utilizing collaborative software, version-control systems, and regular virtual meetings helps ensure that project requirements are met and revisions are efficiently managed. Building strong digital communication skills and being proactive in seeking clarification can greatly enhance teamwork and productivity in this remote environment.

What is the difference between Remote 3D Microstation vs Remote CAD Designer?

AspectRemote 3D MicrostationRemote CAD Designer
CredentialsMicrostation certification, CAD trainingCAD software proficiency, certifications vary
Work EnvironmentDesign firms, engineering companies, architectureArchitectural, engineering, manufacturing sectors
Industry UsagePrimarily civil, infrastructure, and large-scale projectsBuilding design, product development, manufacturing

Remote 3D Microstation specialists focus on detailed civil and infrastructure projects using Microstation software, while Remote CAD Designers work across various industries creating 2D and 3D designs with different CAD tools. Both roles require CAD proficiency and often share similar work environments, but their project focus and industry applications differ.

What is a Remote 3D Microstation job?

A Remote 3D Microstation job involves using Bentley MicroStation, a computer-aided design (CAD) software, to create, modify, and manage 3D models and drawings, often for architecture, engineering, or construction projects. In a remote role, professionals perform these tasks from a location outside the traditional office, collaborating with teams online. This job typically requires strong CAD skills, attention to detail, and experience with MicroStation software. Remote 3D Microstation professionals may work on infrastructure design, drafting, and visualization projects for various industries.

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
