Scope of Position

This role in the Reality Capture & Digital Layout team of the Virtual Construction group leverages the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies to support project teams to pursue, design, manage, and execute projects. This position utilizes Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) workflows for digital layout, laser scanning, laser scan registration, drone operations, and other innovative technical skillsets. This role requires travel to jobsites to conduct laser scanning, drone surveying operations, and control setup.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Digital Layout
  • Provide model-based layout coordinates and coordination drawings to field surveying teams onsite for layout of self-perform concrete, steel, utilities, and other systems.
• Reality Capture
  • Scan, Process, register, and publish laser scan point cloud data for coordination.
• Drone Operations
  • Create flight plans, conduct flights, and process drone data.
• 3D Modeling
  • Convert point cloud information to building information models for design and construction detailing, including creation of parametric content.
• Innovation
  • Support innovation through research and testing of new technologies.
• Standards
  • Work closely with Mgr. of Reality Capture & Digital Layout and Manager of Reality Capture to develop and maintain standards relating to process and procedures.
• Support VDC staff as needed:
