Job summary

Construction Material Testing is seeking a 3D scanning technician to operate handheld scanners (Artec Leo, Eva, Space Spider) on varied sites, capture data, and deliver processed outputs. You will verify data on site and prepare meshes, reports, and scan-to-CAD files for clients.

You will gain training on capture procedures, drift control methods, and project-specific templates. This role involves on-site work, safety compliance, and occasional travel to regional hubs.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience operating handheld scanners on real projects.
• Knowledge of Artec Studio or similar scan-processing software.
• Ability to read structural/fabrication drawings in CAD.
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel.
• Experience with scan-to-CAD or metrology reporting is a plus.

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.
• Travel to regional hubs as assigned.
