Job Summary:

The Reality Capture Specialist (RCS) reports to the Construction Automation Lead or the Project Innovation and Information Manager (PIIM) and is responsible for supporting the execution of Remote Field Services through reliable field data capture, visualisation support, and digital construction workflows. The role manages the day-to-day use of reality capture hardware, software, and related processes so that field conditions are captured, organised, and made available to project teams, remote specialists, and construction leadership.

The RCS works closely with the Project Field Engineer (PFE), survey, construction automation, and the project RFS team to support seamless visualisation of the jobsite, improve access to field information, and enable remote review, planning, verification, and issue resolution. The position offers the opportunity to develop broad construction knowledge across multiple disciplines while applying emerging technology in an active project environment, and it requires a proactive, detail-oriented individual with strong digital aptitude, practical field awareness, and the ability to support innovation, technology adoption, and continuous improvement across project execution.
