Reality Capture Specialist; LiDAR & Drone

Overview

Location: West Palm Beach / Palm Beach County, Florida
Job Type: Contract (90 days), with option to convert to full-time
Work Setting: Local / field-based
Compensation: Competitive contract compensation based on experience, equipment, and availability

We are building a next-generation experiential design studio focused on luxury and ultra-luxury residential projects in Palm Beach County. Our goal is to create an industry-leading client experience by combining site capture, spatial technology, immersive visuals, and integrated design presentations across architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design.

We are hiring a Digital Site Capture & Spatial Inventory Specialist to lead the field-capture side of that workflow.

This role is for someone who understands how to document a property so it can be used for:

Gaussian splatting

future 3D modeling

immersive presentations

This is not a basic drone-operator role and not a traditional survey-only position. We want someone who can think strategically about what must be captured, how it should be captured, and how that data will be used downstream.

• Travel to project sites in the West Palm Beach / Palm Beach County area
• Capture complete, organized, high-value site inventory using a mix of:
• drone photography and video
• 360 imagery
• LiDAR scanning
• ground photography
• Help determine the right capture approach for each property based on presentation and modeling goals
• Gather data suitable for:
• site/context modeling
• design presentations
• Document critical existing conditions, including:
• structures
• topography and grading
• hardscape
• planting and trees
• site circulation
• views
• adjacent conditions
• outdoor living areas
• key architectural and landscape features
• Organize and deliver field data in a clean, usable, clearly labeled format
• Collaborate with leadership to improve capture standards, equipment strategy, and workflow over time

• In this role, success means: we can trust you to fully and intelligently capture a property the first time
• your data reduces return trips and missing information
• your field inventory supports both early concept work and high-end downstream modeling
• you help us build a repeatable, best-in-class site capture process for luxury residential design

• Experience with one or more of the following:
• drone-based property capture
• LiDAR scanning
• photogrammetry
• reality capture for design, construction, or visualization
• Strong understanding of how field capture supports later modeling, visualization, or presentation workflows
• Strong file organization and documentation habits
• Reliable transportation and ability to work locally in the field
• Strong communication skills and professional presence
• Ability to work independently and solve problems on site

• Experience with Leica BLK
  360 or similar LiDAR tools
• Experience with Gaussian splatting, photogrammetry, or similar reality-capture workflows
• Experience with luxury residential properties
• FAA Part 107 certification
• Familiarity with tools such as Polycam, Reality Capture, Metashape, Postshot, Matterport, or comparable platforms
• Understanding of architecture, landscape architecture, or construction documentation

• Initial 90-day contract role
• Opportunity to convert to full-time after 90 days if both parties agree it is the right fit
• Project-based and flexible at the start, with room to grow as the workflow expands
