In this role, you will pair strong technical execution with curiosity, initiative, and sound judgmenthelping evaluate emerging technologies, assess new tools and platforms, and recommend improvements that strengthen how we deliver services for clients and project teams. The right candidate will also bring market awareness and industry insight, helping identify opportunities to expand our Reality Capture capabilities into new project types, applications, and client sectors that support the groups long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities

Point Cloud Processing & Data Production

• Post-process raw scan data from Mobile, Terrestrial, and Aerial LiDAR acquisitions including registration, classification, filtering, and 3D feature extraction.
• Import, register, and quality-control scan projects in Leica Register360 and Cyclone; process mobile and aerial datasets in TopoDOT, TerraSolid/TerraModeler, and Global Mapper.
• Process aerial photogrammetry and drone-captured imagery using Pix4D and Agisoft Metashape to produce orthomosaics, dense point clouds, and DSMs/DTMs.
• Explore and pilot emerging capture and visualization formats including Gaussian Splat models for immersive existing-condition deliverables targeted at design teams.

Survey Integration & CAD Deliverables

• Perform field-to-finish processing of conventional survey data in AutoCAD Civil 3D, including point import, surface generation, contour production, and plan preparation.
• Review and QC OPUS reports and control point observations to ensure geodetic accuracy across survey, CAD, LiDAR, and GIS deliverables.
• Learn and assist in Leica Infinity control processing.
• Produce and review base map drawings, contour maps, as-built Civil 3D deliverables, and GIS-ready datasets that integrate LiDAR-derived data with conventional survey control.
• Prepare, manage, and export spatial data for use in GIS platforms, including shapefiles, geodatabases, feature layers, raster surfaces, and other geospatial deliverable formats.
• Support GIS workflows related to coordinate systems, projections, metadata, data attribution, spatial analysis, and integration with CAD/BIM deliverables.
• Maintain consistent CAD and GIS standards across projects, including layer structure, symbology, annotation, metadata, naming conventions, and delivery formats.
  

Technology Leadership & Innovation

• Continuously monitor developments in geomatics hardware, software, and data workflows including LiDAR sensors, photogrammetry platforms, point cloud processing tools, and spatial data formats.
• Evaluate new tools and methods and provide informed recommendations on adoption, workflow integration, and ROI.
• Help establish and document internal best practices, processing standards, and QA/QC procedures.
• Lead internal training and knowledge sharing on new platforms and workflows as they are adopted.
• Evaluate and implement AI-enabled tools and workflows for point cloud classification, feature extraction, object recognition, model generation, QA/QC, visualization, and data management.
• Develop, test, and maintain scripts or lightweight applications that automate repetitive production tasks, improve file handling, standardize outputs, and reduce manual processing time.
• Use scripting, coding, APIs, and automation platforms to connect reality capture, CAD, GIS, BIM, and project management workflows where appropriate.
• Explore and pilot emerging tools such as machine-learning-assisted point cloud segmentation, AI-based photogrammetry enhancement, automated clash or deviation detection, and immersive visualization formats.

Business Development & Market Intelligence

• Identify new project types, service lines, and client markets that align with team capabilities including transportation corridor mapping, AEC as-built documentation, infrastructure inspection, heritage documentation, and site planning support.
• Contribute to proposals, capability statements, and project pricing by providing technical scope input and production estimates.
• Represent the firm at industry events, conferences, and professional organizations relevant to geomatics and remote sensing.

Success Profile

In your first year, success will look like:

• Establishing yourself as one of the technical authority for LiDAR processing, photogrammetry, and Civil 3D survey deliverables within the team.
• Completing at least one pilot project utilizing a new technology or workflow (e.g., Gaussian Splat visualization, updated mobile LiDAR pipeline) and presenting findings internally.
• Identifying a minimum of two to three new project or client market opportunities with a concrete approach to pursue them.
• Mentoring junior technicians and contributing to documented QA/QC and processing standards.
• Delivering projects on time and within scope with consistent, client-ready output quality.

Qualifications

• Working knowledge of aerial photogrammetry workflows using Pix4D and/or Agisoft Metashape.
• Ability to read and interpret OPUS reports and perform QC on geodetic control point observations.
• Experience reviewing and producing base maps, contour maps, and survey-integrated CAD deliverables.
• Strong understanding of LiDAR data formats, coordinate reference systems, and geospatial data quality standards.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work both independently and within a collaborative team environment.

Preferred:

• Experience with Part 107 sUAS operations and aerial data acquisition.
• Background in architecture, civil engineering, or a related built environment discipline.
