About the Role

We are seeking a dedicated and motivated Data Capture Technician to operate reality capture equipment, such as 360‑degree cameras and other surveying tools, in a variety of environments. The technician will be responsible for capturing comprehensive data of construction sites using different equipment and methodologies that align with algorithmic analysis.

We are looking for someone who is hardworking, responsible, and passionate about fieldwork, with the ability to effectively use technology to collect detailed site information. This is a part‑time role, requiring one day of work per week.

What You’ll Do

• Operate 360° cameras and other surveying equipment to efficiently capture the construction site.
• Document and communicate the progress of the work being done on‑site.
• Ensure personal safety and the safety of the site and equipment by strictly following all safety protocols and guidelines.
• Collaborate with the Project Team to adapt to the needs and requirements of each project.
• Work across multiple construction sites throughout London & Manchester as part of the role.

What We’re Looking For

• Availability for at least one day per week during daytime hours.
• Willingness to work on construction sites with potentially challenging conditions.
• Ability to walk extensively and perform some physical tasks as part of the job.
• A positive attitude and strong team player qualities.
• Flexibility and a problem‑solving mindset.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to follow detailed instructions and execute consistently.
• Previous fieldwork experience and a technical orientation are a plus.
• A background in Surveying, Photography, or Construction is highly preferred.

Important: Please read before applying. This is not a standard videography or flexible freelance gig. We are looking for reliable, punctual, and physically active individuals to capture critical data on active construction sites.

The logistics:

• Part‑Time / Project‑Based: Each construction site requires 1–2 days of capture per week. This is not a full‑time role unless you are willing and able to cover multiple sites within your region.
• Fixed Schedule: Our capture days are set by the project locations. We require full‑day availability (typically 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM). This role is not compatible with "after‑hours" work or flexible university schedules.

Safety and Requirements:

• CSCS Card: Safety is our priority. All technicians must have a valid CSCS card before their first day on‑site.
• Already certified? Great, you can start immediately.
• Not certified? We will provide the support and resources to help you complete this training before you begin.
• Safety Gear: Steel‑toed safety boots are mandatory at all times. If you don’t already own a pair, we will reimburse the cost to ensure you have the correct protection.
• The Environment: You will be on active construction sites. This means wearing full PPE (hard hat, boots, high‑vis), walking 20,000+ steps a day, and working outdoors regardless of the weather.
• Precision Over Creativity: Your goal is high‑quality, systematic data capture following a strict technical brief.
