Reality Capture Specialist - LiDAR

About Hansen Consulting Group LLC Hansen Consulting Group (HCG) is a specialized integrator focused on aligning people, process, and technology across the full project lifecycle, not simply producing 3D models. HCG helps project teams solve process and data issues that impact planning, procurement, construction, and commissioning, using BIM as a data and quality management workflow. We emphasize process-first workflows, BIM-to-prefab manufacturing-to-installation integration, defensible BIM Execution Plans, and embedded accountability across the project lifecycle. HCG consultants are embedded on large, complex projects across multiple states, serving sectors including data centers, semiconductors, EV and battery, wastewater, oil and gas, and commercial construction.
