• Identify and resolve data submission gaps or organizational inconsistencies, coordinating with field teams as needed.
• Upload, log, and track data through designated project storage and management platforms.

LiDAR Data Processing

• Independently perform the conversion and processing of LiDAR point cloud data into LAS file formats, applying established workflow standards.
• Review processed LiDAR data for accuracy and quality, identifying and correcting issues before they advance in the processing pipeline.
• Optimize individual processing tasks to support efficient project turnaround.

Field Imagery Quality Assurance

• Conduct systematic sorting and quality control of all field photography received from Survey Technicians and UAS Pilots, verifying completeness, clarity, and compliance with company and client photo standards.
• Flag and document imagery that does not meet required standards and coordinate resolution with the field team or supervising analyst.
• Organize approved imagery for integration into reports and deliverables.
• Prepare and compile condition assessment reports by integrating processed LiDAR data, field imagery, pole data, and conductor observations into structured deliverable formats.
• Organize and manage thermal imagery datasets to support analysis and reporting.
• Compile GPR data into formatted reports as assigned, applying established reporting standards.
• Ensure all deliverables meet project specifications and client requirements before submission for review.

GIS Data Management

• Maintain and update GIS datasets for active projects, ensuring data integrity, accuracy, and usability for both field and office applications.
• Integrate processed field data into GIS platforms accurately and in accordance with project data standards.

Quality Assurance

• Apply QA/QC standards consistently throughout the processing workflow, reviewing own work and identifying issues before they reach downstream steps.
• Document and communicate quality findings, data discrepancies, or processing concerns to the supervising analyst clearly and promptly.

Coordination and Communication

• Coordinate with field teams regarding incoming data, submission status, and data quality issues.
• Communicate project progress, processing timelines, and any concerns affecting deliverable schedules to the supervising analyst.
• Assist with survey equipment inventory tracking and operational support as assigned.
