You as a Sr. Specialist, Geospatial and Reality Capture will:

Survey Control and Georeferencing





- Establish, validate, and document survey control for reality capture engagements using GNSS and total station methods.

- Own coordinate system and datum management across projects, including transformations between project grids, MTM Zone 10, UTM Zone 17N, and NAD83 (CSRS).

- Tie point cloud, photogrammetric, and GIS datasets to project control, and verify registration and georeferencing quality before delivery.

- Prepare accuracy statements for delivered datasets, reporting results against independent checkpoints rather than software-internal residuals.

Field Capture Operations

- Plan and execute drone capture, including flight planning, airspace review, ground control placement, and site-specific risk assessment.

- Operate terrestrial laser scanning equipment (Leica RTC360 and BLK series) and mobile mapping systems on active construction sites.

- Determine the appropriate capture method, density, and accuracy class for each engagement based on the intended use of the data.

- Maintain equipment calibration, service records, and field readiness for all geospatial and capture hardware.

- Apply and uphold EllisDon health and safety requirements on every site deployment, including capture-day method statements.

Geospatial Data and Deliverables





- Build and maintain geodatabases, layer schemas, and spatial data standards for VDC Services engagements.

- Produce GIS deliverables including site and corridor mapping, orthomosaics, topographic surfaces, volumetrics, and client-facing dashboards.

- Deploy field data collection workflows using ArcGIS Field Maps or equivalent for site verification and asset capture.

- Develop the BIM to GIS integration path, connecting models and point clouds to geospatial context for project and portfolio use.

- Automate repetitive processing, translation, and quality assurance tasks using scripting and data integration tools.

Delivery and Client Support

- Provide effort estimates and technical input to proposals, statements of work, and scope definition for geospatial engagements.

- Act as the technical point of contact for geospatial scope on assigned engagements, communicating effectively with both project office staff and field superintendents.

- Identify scope variations against the agreed statement of work and elevate change-order conditions to the engagement lead.

- Document workflows, standards, and lessons learned so capability is retained by the team rather than held by an individual.

- Support the technical development of VDC Specialists in survey control, drone operations, and geospatial fundamentals.

Is this the right role for you?

- Diploma or degree in Geomatics, Geospatial Engineering Technology, Survey Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, or a related field. A GIS graduate certificate combined with field survey experience is an acceptable equivalent.
