• Comfortable walking long distances, navigating uneven terrain, and standing for long periods on active, outdoor or indoor construction sites.

Responsibilities

• Execute Primary Projects: Take hands-on responsibility for capturing comprehensive, high-quality data on your own dedicated construction sites.
• Own the On-the-Ground Operation & Coordinate: Take full accountability for regional data capture projects. Manage schedules, coordinate your team of technicians, and ensure they are deployed efficiently to meet all project demands.
