Survey/3D Laser Scanning Technician

About the role

As a Survey/3D Laser Scanning Technician, you will be responsible for performing and documenting visual observations, maintaining continuity between office and field teams, and utilizing technology to ensure quality control of the installation process. You will work closely with field crews, foremen, superintendents, and project managers to ensure constructability, accuracy, and seamless execution of the project.

Responsibilities

• Documentation and Reporting
  • Centralize project data and implement an organized system for real-time information access.
  • Organize and manage all project-related data in one centralized location for consistency and convenience.
  • Create a streamlined and organized system to ensure project teams have access to accurate, real-time information.
  • Document, report, and maintain all observations to ensure that issues are resolved in a timely manner.
• Quality Assurance Observations
  • Perform unbiased third-party observations at all stages of construction to ensure proper installation techniques and compliance with project plans and requirements.
  • Identify deviations from the project plans, design specifications, and model.
  • Identify safety and quality-related risks to help mitigate accidents and injuries on-site that may impact the installation process, project's timeline, budget, or overall success.
• Onsite Support
  • Perform regular site walks with the 360 camera for documenting progress, completed work, and highlight any issues.
  • Capture existing conditions with the 3D laser scanner, pre and post install, to identify discrepancies and potential issues.
  • Utilize a robotic total station (RTS) to support layout activities.
  • Operate UAS (drone) systems to capture aerial imagery of existing jobsite conditions for observation and analysis.
  • Compare model against collected data to ensure that the digital model represents the real-world construction elements accurately and produce visual content which communicates as-built conditions.
• Client Collaboration & Problem Solving
  • Work closely with project teams to streamline communication and operations, ensuring that information flows seamlessly between the office and the field.
  • Attend weekly meetings, present issues, and contribute to problem resolution.
  • Work hand-in-hand with field teams to address constructability concerns and assist in providing solutions.
  • Support field team, contribute to process improvements, and stay up to date on the latest technology that can provide value to the project.

Requirements

• 1+ years in construction.
• Ability to travel for work for 2 weeks – 18 months at a time and/or ability to relocate.
• Problem-solving mindset: ability to identify and analyze issues and provide constructible solutions.
• Technical proficiency: strong knowledge of Scan Registration software, Navisworks, Bluebeam, and Procore.
• Understanding of multidisciplinary coordination efforts in BIM.
• Strong ability to collaborate with contractors, project managers, and field teams.
• Familiarity with construction terminology and means and methods.
• Extreme ownership mentality: take full responsibility for quality control solutions, project success, and team collaboration.

Work Environment

• Candidates must reside within commuting distance to San Francisco, CA.
• The role is 100% onsite; no hybrid work schedules are available.
• Collaborative environment (virtual or in person) with frequent team meetings and project briefings.
• Some travel may be required depending on the location of the projects.
