Geomatics Technician I

About the role

The Geomatics Technician I position is an entry point into our Reality Capture department, focusing on point cloud registration and related geospatial data production workflows. We are looking for candidates with experience in engineering, geomatics, or related fields who can bring a strong technical foundation, disciplined data/QA habits, and the ability to learn complex geomatics software quickly.

Responsibilities

• Point Cloud Registration & Processing (primary focus): Import, register, and QC scan projects in Leica Register360 and Cyclone.
• Support point cloud registration and processing using NavVis Ivion.
• Shadow and progressively take ownership of related data processing tasks in a variety of software platforms.
• Auxiliary support to review OPUS reports and control point observations to support the accuracy of registered datasets.
• Auxiliary support to review aerial photogrammetry and drone-captured imagery outputs — orthomosaics, dense point clouds, DSMs/DTMs.
• Data & Workflow Automation: Identify and implement opportunities to automate file handling, standardize outputs, and improve QA/QC efficiency across registration and processing workflows.
• Contribute to more consistent file organization and delivery standards across projects, making datasets easier for the broader team to locate, use, and audit.
• Improve the reliability and repeatability of data outputs delivered to project teams, reducing rework and downstream QC flags.
• Contribute to strengthening documentation practices so that processing decisions and QC checks are traceable and repeatable by others on the team.
• Field Support: Assist with terrestrial 3D laser scanning in diverse field environments (offices, utility spaces, exterior campus sites).
• Assist with control surveys, topographic surveys, and existing-conditions surveys using established field procedures and technologies.
• Coordinate field activities with internal teams and project stakeholders to support accuracy and schedule alignment.
• Maintain scanning/survey equipment and follow established field procedures and safety practices.
• Occasional support to field crews for terrestrial/mobile scanning and conventional survey data collection, leveraging prior land surveying and site experience.
• Add additional strategic assignments as assigned by executive leadership.

Qualifications

• B.S. in engineering, geomatics, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
• 2+ years of experience in a technical, data-intensive, or built-environment-adjacent role (project controls, field surveying, or similar all qualify).
• Demonstrated proficiency in data workflow tools appropriate to the role (e.g., scripting, database, or automation platforms).
• Strong documentation habits and QA/QC discipline; ability to learn new specialized software quickly.
• Valid driver's license.
• Comfortable with occasional fieldwork and travel (up to 50%).

Preferred

• Prior hands-on land surveying or site engineering experience.
• EIT certification or equivalent technical credential.
• Exposure to LiDAR, photogrammetry, or point cloud concepts.
• Experience with project controls tools.
