• Clean, inspect, adjust, and calibrate conventional and robotic total stations using established procedures and a collimation stand.

• Service survey instruments from manufacturers including Leica, Topcon, Sokkia, and Carlson.

• Identify equipment issues, troubleshoot problems, and recommend repairs or additional service as needed.

• Document scanning work, service activities, calibration results, repairs, and equipment findings.

• Maintain accurate records of instruments received, serviced, calibrated, and returned.

• Communicate with customers and coworkers regarding project status, equipment needs, service requirements, and turnaround times.

• Assist with survey sales order preparation and support other department applications as needed.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace and keep tools and equipment in good working condition.

• Perform other duties as assigned.

What We’re Looking For:

• Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Surveying, or a related field, or equivalent knowledge gained through education and work experience.

• Experience operating survey instruments and cleaning and calibrating conventional and robotic total stations.

• Hands-on experience using a collimation stand.

• Working knowledge of Leica, Topcon, Sokkia, and Carlson survey instruments.

• Mechanical and technical aptitude, including the ability to work accurately with precision instruments.

• Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects, instruments, and service requests.

• Effective verbal and written communication skills and a customer-focused approach.

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and contribute to a cross-functional team.

• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel frequently within the local area, with occasional overnight travel.

• Experience with Leica laser scanning equipment and Cyclone software, land surveying, construction layout, or optical instrument repair preferred.

• Familiarity with manufacturer service software and calibration procedures, as well as experience with data collectors, GNSS receivers, or levels, is a plus.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to work at a desk and on a computer, as well as in the field carrying scanning equipment and a tripod.

• Ability to sit, stand, kneel, crouch, and bend frequently throughout the workday.

• Frequent use of hands to operate tools and handle precision instruments.

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.

Why Join Us?

• Work across both geospatial field services and precision survey instrument servicing.
