What you'll do
Reality capture (field)

  • Plan and run terrestrial LiDAR scans of existing buildings, sites and in-progress construction, using equipment such as [Leica RTC360 / Faro Focus / Trimble X7].
  • Set up scan positions, targets and control points to meet project accuracy requirements.
  • Support mobile, handheld or drone-based capture (photogrammetry) where projects call for it.
  • Follow site safety rules, care for equipment, and keep accurate field logs.

Point cloud processing (office)

  • Register, clean, and georeference scan data in [Leica Cyclone / Faro Scene / Trimble RealWorks / Autodesk ReCap].
  • Run quality checks on registration accuracy and point cloud coverage, and flag gaps for re-scan.
  • Export and manage deliverables: point clouds, TruViews or web viewers, and 2D floor plans and elevations.

Scan-to-BIM and coordination

  • Build and update as-built Revit models from point clouds to the agreed Level of Development (LOD).
  • Compare scans against design models to find deviations (as-built vs. as-designed).
  • Run clash detection in [Navisworks / Revizto / Autodesk Construction Cloud], and help prepare clash reports.
  • Join weekly BIM coordination meetings with designers and trades; track and follow up on open issues.
  • Help maintain BIM standards, file naming, and model organization on the common data environment.

Qualifications

Required

  • Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering, Geomatics, or a related field.

  • Able to work on active job sites and travel locally (valid driver's license).
  • Strong attention to detail and clear communication.

Preferred

  • Experience with laser scanners or point cloud software (ReCap, Cyclone, Scene).
  • Exposure to Navisworks or other clash detection tools.
  • OSHA 10 or FAA Part 107 certification.

What we offer

  • Ownership of real scan-to-BIM deliverables on live projects, not just shadowing.
  • Training on professional-grade scanners and industry software.
  • Mentorship from experienced VDC and BIM professionals.
  • A portfolio of point cloud and model work you can show future employers.
  • Potential path to a full-time role after graduation.
