Equipment, software stack, and regional field operations
Our field and office teams work across the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut industrial corridor—from NYC mechanical rooms and Hudson Valley pharmaceutical plants to Northern New Jersey logistics hubs and Connecticut manufacturing facilities. Field technicians operate survey-grade terrestrial tripod laser scanners (2–3 mm station accuracy), wearable mobile SLAM systems (10–25 mm accuracy), and RTK/PPK photogrammetry drones.
In the office, registration engineers and BIM/CAD specialists work inside Leica Cyclone, Faro Scene, Autodesk ReCap Pro, Autodesk Revit (2021–2025), AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Navisworks Manage. Every project follows a strict modeling matrix at LOD 200, LOD 300, or LOD 350, backed by cloud-to-cloud and target-based registration residual checks.
Because we never outsource quality control to unverified third parties, modelers and field technicians collaborate directly on complex geometries—reviewing point cloud slices, resolving structural transitions, and documenting every QA threshold before a client deliverable leaves our hands.
The roles we hire for
Field scanning technicians run terrestrial and mobile capture on industrial and institutional sites, which means competence with scan planning, control, and site safety as much as with the instrument.
BIM and CAD modelers turn registered point clouds into Revit models and drawing sets, working to a documented modeling matrix rather than to taste.
Drone pilots hold FAA Part 107 certification and handle airspace authorisation, ground control, and photogrammetric processing.
Project coordinators keep access, escorts, permits, and schedules moving, which on industrial sites is genuinely harder than the scanning.
What the work is actually like
Field work happens where the buildings are: live plants, occupied hospitals, warehouses at night, roofs, and the occasional freezing January switchyard. Early starts and night shifts are part of the job, not an exception.
Office work is detail-heavy and quality-driven. Registration residuals and modeling accuracy are checked, and we would rather rescan than deliver something we cannot defend.
What we look for
Attention to detail, comfort on industrial sites, and the judgement to say when something is outside tolerance rather than hoping nobody checks.
Prior surveying, construction, or AEC experience helps; so does Revit, AutoCAD, ReCap, Cyclone, or Civil 3D. Neither is a hard requirement for someone who clearly learns fast.
How to apply
We do not always have an open posting, but we do keep an eye out for good people. Send a résumé and a short note about the kind of work you want to be doing to info@3dscancraft.com.
If you have sample work — a registration report showing target and cloud-to-cloud RMS residuals, an LOD 300 or LOD 350 Revit (.rvt) or AutoCAD (.dwg) deliverable you modeled from an E57 or RCP point cloud, or a difficult industrial plant you captured under tight access constraints — include it with your note. Concrete examples of how you handle survey control, coordinate systems, and quality verification tell us far more than a generic list of software names.
