Responsibilities

• Process and extract topographic and feature data from LiDAR and point cloud datasets (MTLS, UAV, TLS, and bathymetric).
• Utilize MicroStation and TopoDOT to develop accurate existing conditions, surfaces, and models.
• Interpret and translate raw geospatial data into usable engineering and survey deliverables.
• Generate topographic maps, 3D models, and digital surfaces from extracted data.
• Absorb bathymetric and terrestrial datasets for comprehensive modeling.
• Maintain organized file structures and adhere to client and company CAD standards.
• Ensure all extracted data meets project specifications and accuracy requirements.
• Follow established workflows, naming conventions, and CAD standards.
• Review deliverables for completeness, consistency, and quality control.
• Stay up to date with evolving technologies in LiDAR, UAV mapping, and data processing.
• Work closely with surveyors, engineers, and senior technicians to ensure accurate representation of field data.
• Support multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to deadlines.
• Communicate proactively with team members regarding data needs, issues, or clarifications.
• Continue developing skills in point cloud processing, 3D modeling, and geospatial technologies.
• Potential for field collection operations.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Associate’s degree or technical certification in CAD, surveying, geomatics, or related field preferred.
