Licensed Surveyor Photogrammetrist

DeMarr Engineering, PLLC Licensed Surveyor Photogrammetrist Arlington, VA
· Full time

We’re hiring a Licensed Photogrammetrist to process aerial imagery and LiDAR data using Pix4D, GeoSLAM, and LP360. You’ll convert raw datasets into accurate, survey‑grade deliverables that support our engineering and land development projects.

DeMarr Engineering is a unique civil engineering firm with a parent site contracting company, making us one of the only true design-build land development firms. We are a small, yet effective engineering firm; our engineers are more hands‑on with a wider range of skills than other typical civil engineering firms. Join our team today to find out firsthand how you can learn new skills, tackle impressive projects and achieve career‑growth at an always‑growing and employee‑first company.

We are seeking a highly skilled Licensed Surveyor Photogrammetrist to lead our aerial data processing workflows, including orthometric imagery, LiDAR point clouds, and topographic surface generation
. You will take ownership of converting raw aerial datasets into accurate, survey‑grade deliverables used in civil, environmental, and land development projects.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a technology‑forward survey environment and wants to shape standards for high‑accuracy remote‑sensing workflows.

• Process aerial orthophotos using Pix4D
  , including calibration, alignment, georeferencing, orthomosaic generation, and QA/QC.
• Process and classify LiDAR datasets using:
• GeoSLAM (SLAM‑based mobile scanning workflows)
• LP360 (UAS and terrestrial LiDAR processing, classification, contour generation, feature extraction)
• Produce high‑accuracy DTMs, DSMs, surface models, contours, point clouds, and CAD‑ready deliverables
  .
• Manage project‑level geodetic control, coordinate systems, localization files, vertical datums, and metadata documentation.
• Perform quality control checks to ensure survey‑grade accuracy.
• Coordinate with field crews, drone pilots, and engineering staff on data requirements and deliverable timelines.
• Maintain and document processing workflows and best practices.
• Support integration of LiDAR and photogrammetry outputs into CAD, GIS, and BIM environments
  .

• Licensed Surveyor Photogrammetrist — any U.S. state license accepted, Virginia preferred.
• 3+ years experience in photogrammetry, remote sensing, LiDAR processing, or geomatics.
• Proficiency with:
• Pix4D Mapper (or similar photogrammetry engines)
• LP360
• Strong understanding of aerial triangulation, coordinate systems, geodetic datums, GNSS and IMU integration
  , and survey control workflows.
• Experience generating orthomosaics, point clouds, classified LiDAR datasets, and topographic surfaces.
• Knowledge of CAD/GIS platforms (Civil 3D, ArcGIS, QGIS, etc.)
• High attention to detail and ability to produce accurate, defensible survey deliverables.

• FAA Part 107 certification (not required but a plus).
• Experience with drone‑based LiDAR
  , mobile LiDAR, or terrestrial scanning.
• Familiarity with LP360 Advanced features such as feature extraction and advanced classification.
• Experience with ground control survey workflows
  .
• Background in civil engineering, geomatics, remote sensing, GIS, or related field.

• Work with cutting‑edge aerial mapping technology and help shape our geospatial data workflows.
• Direct impact on land development, design, and engineering outcomes.
• Small, high‑performance team where your expertise matters.
• Opportunity for career growth as our aerial and LiDAR capabilities expand.
