Construction Material Testing; Sacramento (CA); On-site; USD 36,000 - 55,000; Full time

Job summary

Construction Material Testing is seeking a trained 3D scanning technician to operate handheld scanners (Artec Leo, Eva, Space Spider) on construction sites, capture data, verify on site, and deliver meshes, point clouds, and CAD-ready files.

You will process data in Artec Studio, generate deviation maps and reports, and coordinate with superintendents. Travel to regional hubs is expected; a valid driver's license and ability to lift equipment are required.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience operating a handheld structured-light or laser scanner on real projects.

Responsibilities

• Plan and execute handheld 3D scans of rebar and embeds before concrete placement, failed and damaged structures, corroded pipe and tanks, fabricated steel and precast, machine parts, and modular units.
• Control drift on large objects with reference features, tape-measure backbones, and overlapping zones.
• Verify capture completeness on site before leaving.
• Process scans in Artec Studio: registration, fusion, mesh cleanup, texture, and export to STL, OBJ, E57, and CAD formats.
• Produce deviation color maps, measurement reports, crack maps, pit-depth tables, and anchor bolt coordinate reports against drawings or CAD.
• Build scan-to-CAD solids (STEP/IGES) for reverse engineering and fit-up checks, or hand clean meshes to the modeling team.
• Document capture procedure, equipment settings, and chain of custody on forensic matters.
• Keep the scanner, batteries, and calibration records in order.
• Coordinate access, permits, and safety with superintendents and plant contacts.
