Field Surveyor (Augmented Reality)
Location : Austin, TX
Job Type : Full Time
Category : Entry Level (1-4 years)
As a Field Surveyor, you'll be wearing a construction-certified AR hardhat and using it to eliminate construction and design errors on site, which would otherwise lead to costly and time-consuming rework. You'll visualize the design models in holograms through the visor, and provide regular updates of potential clashes/errors in what has been, or is to be, installed by verifying what you're seeing in front of you.
This is an on-site role working on a long term project. Projects after this assignment may be in another location or state so some flexibility on travel/relocation in future would be ideal.
Key Responsibilities
- Conducting daily site inspections using the Augmented Reality headset to ensure work is installed/being installed correctly, as per the BIM Model.
- Using a total station to set / traverse control points.
- Client communication and reporting.
- Producing reports based on the inspections from that day.
- Attending meetings to coordinate with contractors to plan daily activities.
- Processing and reviewing all acquired data to ensure it is accurate and reliable.
- Reporting to the Field Operations Manager, maintaining an efficient workflow and ensuring all requested inspections are conducted within the specified time frame.
- Working with the Contractor to devise a weekly lookahead of inspections in line with the master construction program in order to de-risk incorrect installation from taking place in the field.
- Obtaining and preparing the latest approved Revit models to export into the AR program.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- 2+ years relevant work experience in a field engineer or surveying role, ideally using a total station or laser scanners in your work.
- A qualification in construction, land surveying, civil engineering, geospatial or geodetic engineering would be preferred but isn’t essential.
- A strong work ethic, ambition and interest in new technology.
- Any knowledge related to 3D software (Revit, Navisworks, etc.) or BIM / BIM360 is desirable but not essential and can be taught.
- Must be confident in using Microsoft Office.
- Essential: You must have a clean criminal record and be willing to undergo background checks and drugs tests due to security requirements of the projects we work on.
