Requirements & Qualifications:

• Proficiency in point cloud software such as Cyclone or Scene, with ability to fit geometric models and perform deviation analysis.
• Working knowledge of pressure vessel and tank geometry, settlement behavior, and API 653/510 requirements for mechanical integrity.
• Bachelor’s degree in Surveying, Geomatics, Engineering, or related field, with minimum 8 years of experience using LiDAR scanning systems like Leica or FARO.

Working Conditions & Benefits:

• Primarily office-based with frequent interaction with digital systems; occasional travel to field sites, plants, or client locations for inspections.
• Prolonged periods of sitting and computer work; ability to travel to industrial sites and navigate environments requiring personal protective equipment.
