Job description

Tri-Point (SITECH Northeast affiliate/subsidiary) is seeking a 3D Civil Modeler/Designer to join our dedicated team.  We are looking for someone with a passion for the construction industry, and knowledge of the GPS and total station technologies being used on today’s jobsites.

Salary range: $60,000 - $80,000 annually

This is a primarily remote position, with occasional travel to job sites in the market.  In this role, you will be utilizing the latest software to produce 3D surface models for GPS machine control and construction layout equipment. Our modelers bridge the gap between design and construction to provide our clients the data they need to get the best productivity out of their technology.

Since 2007, Tri-Point has been providing data prep and construction layout services for the heavy civil construction industry. We provide clients of all sizes with the 3D models for their GPS machine control and onsite construction layout.


Tri-Point field crews work with the client to obtain site data needed for constructing the three dimensional surface model.  Modelers have direct interaction with clients as needed. The Modeler reviews client-provided CAD files and plans to ensure all necessary data is available and communicates any omissions.  Modelers develop layout maps and 3D surface models to meet the client’s requirements.  Most projects are fasted paced and will need to be turned around in about 1-2 weeks, and modelers will be working on concurrent project assignments during peak times. 


  • Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Construction or Civil Engineering desired, or equivalent heavy civil work or surveyor experience
  • Ideal candidates will have 3-5 years experience building 3D surfaces with Trimble Business Center, Carlson Civil, AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation InRoads, or Terramodel
  • Experience with Trimble, Topcon, Leica machine control and construction layout equipment a strong plus
  • Knowledge of and ability to read construction plans
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills
  • Good problem-solving skills and strong attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently and efficiently to meet project deadlines in a remote work environment
  • Tri-Point will provide tools needed to build 3D models inclusive of computer/monitor(s)/software(s)

This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive.  Your supervisor may request and assign similar duties. 

Resumes that are mailed, emailed or hand-delivered to Tri-Point or any employee will not be considered.  You must apply online. A background check and drug test are required as part of our pre-employment process.
