Company Overview
The law requires you to call 811 to have public utilities marked before you dig. However, public utilities will only locate the facilities they own – electric, gas, oil, sewer, telephone, and water. The vast majority of underground utilities are privately owned, which is why you need to make Blood Hound your second call.
Blood Hound locates ALL underground utilities and structures and offer a range of highly specialized subsurface utility services to significantly reduce your risk of costly damages and project delays and mitigate safety hazards for your crews and community.
Blood Hound’s Geospatial Division is leading the evolution of utility mapping and subsurface data collection. Our work combines Multi-Channel GPR, UAS LiDAR, mobile scanning, and advanced GIS tools to deliver high-resolution 2D and 3D mapping data for engineering and construction clients nationwide.
Summary
Blood Hound is seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled Geospatial Data Processing Specialist to join our expanding Geospatial Division. This role is focused on transforming raw sensor data—GPR, LiDAR, GNSS, and UAS imagery—into precise, client-ready deliverables that power engineering, design, and construction decisions.
You’ll work closely with our Geospatial Systems Supervisor, CAD and GIS teams, and field crews to ensure that data captured in the field is processed, organized, and delivered with the highest accuracy and consistency.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys data analysis, mapping workflows, and precision quality control across a wide variety of datasets and software platforms.
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.
- Collaborate with the Geospatial Systems Supervisor to improve internal data pipelines and automation.
- Support the creation and maintenance of libraries, templates, and standard processing documentation.
- Ensure data is properly archived and backed up according to company protocols.
- Communicate regularly with field teams to clarify data collection parameters and resolve inconsistencies.
- Provide feedback to technicians and supervisors to enhance data capture quality and efficiency.
- Support managers and CAD/GIS staff with organized and verified datasets ready for drafting or analysis.
Requirements
- 1+ years of experience in geospatial data processing, remote sensing, or GIS/CAD production.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D, QGIS, or similar mapping software.
- Familiarity with LiDAR, photogrammetry, or GPR data formats and workflows preferred.
- Understanding of coordinate systems, datums, and transformations.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Experience with data QA/QC or file standardization.
- 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.
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. Veterans are encouraged to apply.
