* 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 producing visual content which communicates as-built conditions

Client Collaboration & Problem Solving
* Working 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

What We're Looking For
* Experience: 1+ years in construction
* Flexibility: 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
* Coordination & Clash Detection: Understanding of multidisciplinary coordination efforts in BIM
* Communication Skills: Strong ability to collaborate with contractors, project managers, and field teams
* Industry Expertise: 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
