Original job description
Our client is seeking an experienced Surveyor/Layout Specialist to support its growing construction layout and reality capture services. This role combines precision construction layout using robotic total stations with high-quality 3D laser scanning, carrying project data from design files to the field and back to support layout, as-builts, fabrication, and BIM coordination.
Construction Layout
- Perform construction layout on active job sites using Leica robotic total stations and Leica GNSS/GPS equipment.
- Establish, traverse, and verify horizontal and vertical site control, tying into project benchmarks and coordinate systems.
- Lay out gridlines, building corners, foundations, anchor bolts, embeds, walls, sleeves, hangers, and MEP penetrations from design data.
- Perform as-builts of anchor bolts, embeds, foundations, and other installed work, and report deviations against project tolerances.
- Build layout point files from AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit drawings and models, and transfer data between office software and field controllers.
- Identify dimensional discrepancies and drawing conflicts before layout and resolve them with project teams.
- Coordinate with superintendents, foremen, and trades to prioritize layout and keep work on schedule.
Reality Capture
- Perform 3D laser scanning on active construction sites, industrial facilities, and commercial environments.
- Execute scanning workflows using Leica reality capture equipment, tying scan data to project control.
- Maintain total stations, GNSS receivers, scanners, prisms, targets, tripods, batteries, and field documentation, including routine instrument checks and calibration.
- Coordinate site access and field activities with project teams to maintain schedule and safety requirements.
Office/Technical Support
- Use AutoCAD and Civil 3D to prepare layout data, process field survey data, and produce points, surfaces, alignments, and as-builts.
- Register and process point cloud data using Leica Register 360+, Cyclone, and related Leica software.
- Perform QA/QC on layout and scan data for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with project control.
- Prepare point cloud deliverables and integrate them into Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Civil 3D workflows.
- Support client deliverables including layout reports, as-builts, registered point clouds, scan reports, and deviation analyses.
- Manage data organization, file naming, and project documentation.
Advancing Services
- Learn and apply advanced layout, laser scanning, and registration workflows.
- Develop as-builts and deviation analysis reports.
- Help advance new technologies including drones, robotics, robotic layout, and AI.
Qualifications
- 2+ years of hands-on construction layout or surveying experience with robotic total stations and data collectors (Leica strongly preferred).
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil 3D, including layout points, coordinate data, and field data processing.
- Ability to read civil/site, structural, and architectural construction drawings.
- Solid understanding of survey fundamentals: coordinate systems, control, benchmarks, traversing, and tolerances.
- Experience with laser scanning and point cloud processing (Register 360+, Cyclone 3DR) or equivalent.
- High level of competency with technology and strong field-to-office QC habits.
- Comfortable working independently on job sites; able to travel to project sites; valid driver's license.
Preferred
- Degree or diploma in surveying, geomatics, civil engineering technology, or a related field.
- Experience with Leica Captivate, Leica Infinity, and Leica GNSS/RTK site calibrations.
- As-builts of anchor bolts, embeds, and structural steel; point cloud integration into Revit.
- Survey technician certification or progress toward LSIT/SIT; OSHA 10 or 30.
Compensation
- Strong, competitive base salary plus annual performance bonuses.
- Health, dental, and vision premiums paid for the employee and eligible family members.
- 401k with up to 12% company match.
- Generous PTO and holiday program.
- Real room to grow with an expanding technology-driven team.
