Reality Capture Technician; Entry-Level LiDAR ; Designer​/Drafter

What You Will Do

This team supports the development of digital representations of facilities through terrestrial laser scanning and building information modeling. The program focuses on delivering accurate and reliable building data to support operations, planning, and engineering efforts across Laboratory facilities.

As a Reality Capture Technician at the entry level, you will support field scanning operations and structured data workflows. This includes assisting with scan setup, organizing collected data, and performing initial quality checks to ensure completeness and accuracy. You will work closely with engineers and designers while developing foundational skills in laser scanning, data processing, and digital modeling workflows.

• Assist with terrestrial LiDAR scanning operations using Leica systems
• Set up tripods, scanners, targets, and field equipment
• Support control point setup and scan logistics
• Ingest, organize, and maintain scan data and metadata
• Prepare scan data for processing in appropriate software tools
• Perform initial quality checks such as coverage validation and file integrity
• Follow established procedures, safety protocols, and structured workflows
• Collaborate with engineers and designers to support facility documentation efforts

In addition to the responsibilities outlined at the lower level, you will:

• Perform more advanced quality assurance and quality control checks, including basic error evaluation and validation of datasets.
• Independently support portions of field data collection and processing workflows
• Help define data organization standards and improve workflow efficiency
• Participate in coordination with stakeholders to support project requirements and data deliverables
• Apply working knowledge of design and drafting principles to support downstream modeling and engineering use

• Experience (0-2 years) in field data collection, surveying, GIS, facilities documentation, or related technical work
• Ability to learn and apply laser scanning, Revit, and building information modeling workflows
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow structured processes and procedures
• Ability to work in field environments and comply with safety and security requirements
• Basic experience with computer-based tools for data handling and organization
• Foundational understanding of design/drafting or engineering concepts
• Ability to work both independently on routine tasks and collaboratively in a team environment
• Exposure to technical standards, structured workflows, or data management practices

• Working‑level experience supporting technical data collection, drafting, or design workflows
• Ability to apply drafting or modeling principles to support engineering‑related deliverables
• Experience performing quality checks and resolving basic technical/data issues
• Ability to work with minimal direction on non‑routine tasks and contribute to problem solving
• Familiarity with Revit tools or product/data management systems
• Working knowledge of technical standards and ability to support more complex assignments
