3D Laser Scanning Site Engineer (Faro and Leica Scanning)

Company Description

Inkers Technology, headquartered in Bengaluru with offices in the USA and UAE, is a pioneer in designing and developing advanced AI and ML solutions for the Construction Industry. Through our AI-powered construction management platform Observance, we leverage cutting-edge computer vision, cloud-based processing, and Lithic (LiDAR Thermal IMU Camera) scanners to deliver precision and efficiency in construction workflows.

We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology and building solutions that transform industries.

Role Summary

We are looking for a hands-on 3D Laser Scanning Site Engineer with a strong civil/site-surveying background. The role involves operating terrestrial scanners (LITHIC, HESAI, FARO, Leica, Trimble, MID or equivalent), drones (UAV) for aerial capture, 360 cameras, and other hardware for precise on-site data collection.You will be responsible for capturing complete, high-quality raw data (walkthrough scans, drone surveys, 360 video,manual measurements), ensuring on-site QA, and handing over well-organized datasets to the processing team.

This is a field-intensive role requiring frequent site travel, physical fitness, and strict adherence to safety protocols.

Responsibilities:

? 3D Laser Scanning & Walkthroughs: Perform handheld and tripod-mounted scans ensuring correct

start/stop, device orientation, overlap, and steady movement.

? Drone (UAV) Surveys: Plan and execute aerial LiDAR/photogrammetry surveys, including flight path

planning, overlap checks, and compliance with permissions/safety rules.

? 360 Video & Photogrammetry: Capture high-resolution images and videos for visual context and

photogrammetry with consistency and accuracy.

? Control Points & GNSS/RTK Work: Establish control points, record targets, log vertical/horizontal datum,

and ensure proper site referencing.

? Manual Site Measurements: Record site-specific measurements (heights, clearances, PQC thickness, offsets, etc.) and maintain proper documentation.

? Feature Capture & Tagging: Identify special site features (utilities, obstructions, vegetation, pipelines) and

geo-tag them accurately.

? QA & Data Management: Perform immediate checks of collected data (point clouds, imagery, video) to

confirm completeness before leaving site. Ensure backups, metadata management (naming conventions,

device logs, timestamps, operator details) and organized dataset handover.

? Troubleshooting & Device Care: Conduct pre-scan device checks, routine calibrations, battery management, and troubleshoot equipment as needed.

? Client Coordination & Site Logistics: Liaise with site SPOCs, obtain required permissions, ensure minimal

disruption, and promptly escalate site access issues.

? Safety & Compliance: Follow strict safety protocols, wear PPE, and comply with drone/local aviation

regulations.

Qualifications

Essential Qualifications & Experience

? Diploma/Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering, Surveying, Geomatics, Construction Technology, or

related fields.

? Proven field experience on construction sites (surveying, site engineering, or scanning operations).

? Hands-on experience with terrestrial scanners LITHIC/HESAI preferred. Experience with FARO, Leica,

Trimble, or MID devices is acceptable.

? Practical knowledge of handheld walkthrough scanning workflows (start/stop discipline, orientation

control, overlap, steady speed).

? Familiarity with GNSS/RTK surveying workflows and control setup.

? Comfortable working outdoors, lifting equipment, and traveling frequently for site work.

Desirable Skills

? Drone piloting (UAV) with aerial LiDAR/photogrammetry experience.

? Knowledge of point-cloud processing tools (CloudCompare, ReCap, Cyclone) and referencing in

AutoCAD/Revit.

? Strong data hygiene practices field documentation, backups, file naming conventions.

? Exposure to multi-modal data workflows and project handoffs.
