3D Scanning Technician; Artec Leo Kansas , MO

3D scanning technicians run the Artec Leo for our handheld scanning line. One day you are scanning a rebar mat and anchor bolt cluster before a pour, the next a corroded pipe spool at a Ship Channel plant, a cracked beam for an insurance adjuster, or a worn impeller a machine shop needs rebuilt in CAD. You capture the data, check it on site, process it in Artec Studio, and deliver meshes, point clouds, measurement reports, and scan-to-CAD files the client can act on.

This is a trained-operator position: you have run a handheld structured-light or laser scanner and processed the data before, and you can show us the work.

• Plan and execute handheld 3D scans of rebar and embeds before concrete placement, failed and damaged structures, corroded pipe and tanks, fabricated steel and precast, machine parts, and modular units.
• Control drift on large objects with reference features, tape-measure backbones, and overlapping zones.
• Verify capture completeness on site before leaving.
• Process scans in Artec Studio: registration, fusion, mesh cleanup, texture, and export to STL, OBJ, E57, and CAD formats.
• Produce deviation color maps, measurement reports, crack maps, pit-depth tables, and anchor bolt coordinate reports against drawings or CAD.
• Build scan-to-CAD solids (STEP/IGES) for reverse engineering and fit-up checks, or hand clean meshes to the modeling team.
• Document capture procedure, equipment settings, and chain of custody on forensic matters.
• Keep the scanner, batteries, and calibration records in order.
• Coordinate access, permits, and safety with superintendents and plant contacts.
• Travel to regional hubs as assigned.

• Hands-on experience operating a handheld structured-light or laser scanner (Artec Leo, Eva, or Space Spider; Creaform HandySCAN; FARO; or equivalent) on real projects — bring examples;
• Working knowledge of Artec Studio or comparable scan-processing software; mesh cleanup, registration, and export;
• Familiarity with CAD (Solid Works, Fusion, Inventor, or Revit) and with reading structural or fabrication drawings;
• Comfortable on active construction sites and in industrial plants; able to carry equipment, climb, and work outdoors;
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable record;
• Able to travel and fly with equipment as assigned;
• Experience with scan-to-CAD, Geomagic Design X, or metrology reporting a plus;
• ACI, NICET, or ICC certifications a plus — we sponsor them.

Monday you are on an elevated slab in the Energy Corridor an hour before the pour, scanning the mat, the embeds, and the anchor bolt templates while the special inspector finishes the walk, then back at the office overlaying the scan on the structural drawings so the superintendent has the out-of-tolerance list before the trucks line up. Tuesday is a dig site east of Baytown: a cleaned pipe surface, an open excavation, and a corrosion map that has to be finished before the coating crew closes it up.

Later in the week a machine shop drops off a worn impeller with no drawing, an adjuster asks for a cracked parking garage beam to be scanned before the shoring goes in, and a modular builder in Conroe wants the as-built of a container unit captured before it ships Friday. Every one of those jobs ends the same way: data checked on site, processed in Artec Studio, and delivered in a format the client opens without calling us.

You arrive knowing how to run a handheld scanner; we train you on our capture procedures for each service, our drift-control method for container-size objects, our report templates, and the construction and plant context the scans live in. Technicians who want the construction side pick up ACI Concrete Field…
