About The Position

This role on Haskell’s Reality Capture & Digital Layout team within the Virtual Construction group uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) workflows to support project teams in pursuing, designing, managing, and executing projects. The work includes digital layout, laser scanning and scan registration, drone operations, and other technical applications. Travel to jobsites is required to conduct laser scanning, drone surveying operations, and control setup. The position also supports VDC staff with field layout, project coordination, collaboration, estimating, and business development and scheduling activities. The role works closely with reality capture managers to develop and maintain standards and supports research and testing of new technologies. The position requires ordinary ambulatory ability to visit other locations; standing, walking, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and handling light to medium weights of 10–50 pounds; good hand-eye coordination and arm, hand, and finger dexterity; and visual acuity to use a keyboard, operate equipment, and read application or form information. Frequent activities include sitting, reaching with hands and arms, talking, and hearing.
