Summary

As a Geomatics Technologist, you’ll play a key role in bringing municipal infrastructure projects to life—helping ensure everything is built accurately, efficiently, and exactly where it’s meant to be.

In this dynamic role, you’ll combine hands-on fieldwork with advanced digital modeling to support the full lifecycle of engineering and construction projects. From collecting precise survey data on-site to transforming that information into detailed digital models, your work will directly influence how projects are designed, coordinated, and constructed. Leveraging industry-leading tools such as Leica survey equipment and Autodesk Civil 3D, you’ll gather and process field data, build and maintain project models, validate design information, and provide critical layout support to construction teams.

Your expertise will help ensure that digital models align with real-world conditions, supporting seamless integration between design and construction. Whether you’re troubleshooting discrepancies, refining datasets, or preparing model-ready files, you’ll play an essential role in maintaining accuracy and quality at every stage. This role calls for a strong foundation in geomatics, along with the ability to adapt digital workflows to meet project needs, think critically in the field, and collaborate effectively with engineers, project managers, contractors, and other stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct topographic and engineering surveys, collecting accurate field data using a variety of survey methods and equipment to support design, construction, and asset management activities
Establish survey control, confirm project requirements, and ensure data integrity through detailed field notes, site documentation, and adherence to safety protocols
Process and transform field data into accurate, model-ready datasets using Leica workflows, Autodesk Civil 3D, and related platforms
Develop and maintain digital models, including surfaces, alignments, corridors, and grading elements, ensuring compliance with organizational standards
Perform quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) checks to validate data accuracy and resolve discrepancies between design models and field conditions
Provide construction layout and staking services, translating design models into precise on-site measurements that meet required tolerances
Review and validate design models prior to construction, identifying and addressing conflicts between plans and real-world conditions
Monitor and document layout variances, troubleshoot issues, and escalate complex discrepancies to ensure project timelines and accuracy are maintained
Select and apply appropriate survey equipment, methods, and digital workflows based on project needs, environmental conditions, and accuracy requirements
Adapt to changing site conditions, design updates, and project requirements while maintaining a focus on safety, precision, and efficiency
Collaborate with engineers, project managers, contractors, and field personnel to support project coordination, data integration, and construction activities
Provide guidance and oversight to seasonal staff, ensuring quality work, adherence to safety standards, and proper use of survey equipment and workflows
