Field Data Collection Technician

Citylogix•Gainesville, FL

10h•Onsite

About The Position

This is a single, multi-modal field role. Technicians are trained and expected to operate all collection systems: drive a LiDAR-equipped vehicle for roadway and pavement projects, ride survey e-scooters to collect video and geospatial data across sidewalk networks, and work on foot to measure and assess curb ramps and sidewalk conditions. Assignments are based on project requirements, and may involve all three modes in the same week or day; individual preferences are not considered. This is a collection-only role. The technician captures field data using Citylogix’s proprietary devices, applications, and methods. Office-based Processing, AI, and GIS teams handle processing, analysis, and deliverable production. Technicians are responsible for returning complete, accurate, well-documented field data and transferring it daily using company software and verification procedures. The role requires frequent travel, often alone, with deployments lasting weeks according to project scope and client schedules. During high season, technicians remain in the field; the company covers travel to and from deployments, accommodation, and per diem, but does not routinely provide interim return flights home between assignments during peak periods. Time off requires four weeks’ notice. Shifts commonly begin at 6:00 AM and last 8–10 hours, with work typically 5–6 days per week while deployed, including occasional weekends and overtime. Physical work may involve up to eight hours driving, 8–10 hours riding an e-scooter, or 8–10 hours walking and measuring, or a combination. Technicians handle daily equipment setup, mounting, unmounting, care, and transport, including components weighing over 20 kg.
