Bachelor’s degree in Geography, Geomatics, Engineering Technology, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience).
Comfortable learning new processing tools and adapting to evolving technology.

Responsibilities

Process and organize geospatial datasets from multiple sensors including LiDAR, GPR, GNSS, and photogrammetry.
Perform QA/QC checks to ensure alignment, completeness, and consistency across all collected data.
Convert and clean datasets for import into CAD, GIS, and BIM environments (Civil 3D, QGIS, Revit, etc.).
Generate 2D and 3D outputs such as shapefiles, DWGs, KMLs, and surfaces/TINs.
Standardize naming conventions, coordinate systems, and metadata across project deliverables.
