Job description

Job Description Summary The Construction Technologies Lead will serve as Hunt Electric's subject matter expert for Trimble Layout technologies and emerging field technologies. This role bridges the critical gap between project delivery design and field installation, ensuring precision from preconstruction to final installation. The position owner will manage the end-to-end BIM-to-Field process, including Trimble equipment inventory, training programs, Drone Deploy implementation, and field support across Hunt Electric projects locally and nationally.

Role and Responsibilities

• Trimble Training & Field Support (25%) Conduct on-site Trimble training for local and national Hunt Electric projects during project startup phases. Provide multi-day field support to ensure proper Trimble setup, calibration, and team confidence in layout processes. Train field electricians and apprentices on Trimble Field Link tablet usage, increasing technical capability of field workforce. Operate Robotic Total Stations (RTS), GPS units, 3D laser scanners for underground, wall rough-ins, ceiling hangers, and equipment pad layouts. Schedule and monitor ongoing Trimble success through regular check-ins and follow-ups to ensure layout accuracy and proper execution.
• BIM-to-Field Integration & Model Management (25%) Analyze construction drawings and BIM models to create stakeout points within Trimble Business Center. Streamline information flow between design teams and field foremen, ensuring BIM models are actionable on-site. Generate precise point data to support Hunt's prefabrication efforts, ensuring conduit and hangers fit perfectly upon arrival. Identify and report potential clashes between model and field conditions using Trimble 3D scanning for proactive solutions. Utilize Trimble Field Link to ensure 100% accuracy in BIM-to-Field layout, reducing field errors and rework.
• Equipment & Inventory Management (20%) Organize and track all Trimble equipment inventory as it is deployed to and returned from project sites. Assess equipment needs, identify items requiring replacement, and procure new equipment to maintain readiness. Ensure all Trimble equipment has proper calibrations, software licensing (Field Link, RealWorks, Business Center), and firmware updates. Manage check-in/check-out processes for Trimble equipment in shop, including RTS units, GPS systems, tablets, and 3D scanners. Maintain equipment service records and coordinate repairs to minimize project downtime.
• As-Built Process Management (15%) Develop and implement as-built management plans for projects requiring as-built documentation. Establish standardized naming structures and workflow processes from VDC to field for streamlined as-built delivery. Utilize Trimble 3D scanning and RealWorks software for capturing accurate as-built conditions. Coordinate with project teams to ensure as-built data collection occurs at appropriate construction phases. Process and deliver finalized as-built documentation to clients and project archives.
• Drone Deploy & Emerging Technologies (15%) Setup and create projects within Drone Deploy for aerial site documentation and progress tracking. Advocate for and educate Project Managers locally and nationally on the benefits and ROI of Drone Deploy. Travel to project sites as needed to establish Drone Deploy workflows and provide hands-on training. Research, evaluate, and recommend emerging field technologies that enhance productivity and accuracy. Pilot new technology implementations and measure productivity gains before broader deployment.
