Familiarity with Drone Deploy or similar drone/aerial imaging platforms.
Understanding of construction scheduling principles, including CPM scheduling, lookaheads, and pull planning.
Experience training, mentoring, or formally teaching technical subject matter.
Demonstrated leadership in formal or informal team settings.
Problem-solving mindset with a track record of proactive issue resolution and process improvement.
Certifications in Trimble technology or related survey/layout methodologies.

Responsibilities

Conduct on-site Trimble training for local and national projects during startup, including multi-day field support for equipment setup, calibration, and layout processes.
Train field electricians and apprentices to use Trimble Field Link tablets.
Operate Robotic Total Stations, GPS units, and 3D laser scanners for underground, wall rough-in, ceiling hanger, and equipment pad layouts.
Schedule and monitor Trimble implementation through regular check-ins and follow-ups to support layout accuracy and execution.
Analyze construction drawings and BIM models and create stakeout points in Trimble Business Center.
Coordinate information flow between design teams and field foremen so BIM models are actionable in the field.
Generate point data for prefabrication and identify potential model-to-field clashes using Trimble 3D scanning.
Use Trimble Field Link to support accurate BIM-to-Field layout and reduce errors and rework.
Organize and track Trimble equipment deployed to and returned from project sites; assess needs and procure replacement equipment.
Maintain equipment calibration, software licenses, and firmware updates; manage shop check-in/check-out, service records, and repairs.
Develop as-built management plans, standardized naming structures, and workflows between VDC and field teams.
Use Trimble 3D scanning and RealWorks to capture as-built conditions, coordinate data collection at appropriate project phases, and process and deliver final documentation.
Create Drone Deploy projects for aerial site documentation and progress tracking; educate project managers on its benefits and return on investment.
Travel to project sites as needed to establish Drone Deploy workflows and provide hands-on training.
Research, evaluate, recommend, and pilot emerging field technologies, measuring productivity gains before broader implementation.
Take ownership of technology implementation and project outcomes, proactively resolve issues, and promote best practices and adoption.
Communicate professionally with clients and field teams, translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences, and collaborate to resolve disagreements.
Maintain technical accuracy and deliverable quality while identifying process and workflow improvements.
