Data Capture Field Technician

Data Capture Field Technician

Location:

Victoria, BC

At Niricson, we believe the world’s most critical infrastructure deserves better intelligence.

From hydroelectric dams and bridges to airfields and industrial assets, aging infrastructure is a growing global challenge. Traditional inspection methods are often slow, subjective, and difficult to scale.

We’re changing that.

By combining robotics, AI, advanced sensing technologies, and data analytics, Niricson helps infrastructure owners make smarter, safer, and more proactive decisions about the assets their communities depend on every day.

Our technologies collect high-quality data from complex structures using industrial drones and proprietary sensing systems, transforming that data into actionable engineering insights.

We’re a team of engineers, innovators, and problem-solvers passionate about building technology with real-world impact.

As we continue to grow, we are expanding our field operations team to support infrastructure inspections across North America and beyond. Data Capture Field Technicians play a key role in deploying advanced sensing technologies, collecting critical field data, and helping deliver the insights our clients rely on.

This is not a typical desk job. Our field teams travel to unique locations, work with cutting-edge drone technology, and gain access to infrastructure few people ever get to see. Every project brings new challenges, environments, and opportunities to learn.

If you enjoy hands-on fieldwork, thrive in dynamic environments, and want to help shape the future of infrastructure inspections, we’d love to hear from you.

Do you want a career that takes you around the world?

At Niricson, our field team scans some of the world's most important infrastructure assets, from hydroelectric dams and bridges to airfields and industrial facilities across North America and beyond.

As an Infrastructure Data Capture Field Technician, you'll travel to unique locations, operate advanced drone and sensing technologies, work alongside engineers and infrastructure owners, and help collect the critical data that keeps communities safe.

This is not a desk job.

One week, you may be inspecting a hydroelectric dam in Canada. The next, you could be supporting a bridge assessment in Australia or helping deploy cutting-edge sensing technology on critical infrastructure.

If you love technology, travel, problem-solving, and working in the field, this role offers an opportunity unlike anything else in the industry.
