Advancing Construction Through Precision Reality Capture
Positioned as a Senior Associate, HITT Contracting seeks a Reality Capture Specialist to leverage advanced laser scanning technology and spatial data collection methodologies to support project delivery excellence. This position will utilize terrestrial laser scanning, mobile mapping systems, and photogrammetry to generate high-fidelity digital representations of construction environments, providing critical data assets for design verification, progress tracking, and coordination workflows.
In this role, you will be responsible for capturing, processing, and delivering high‑precision 3D data that supports project delivery across HITT’s diverse portfolio. Working closely with field teams, Virtual Construction specialists, and Project Managers, you will help transform existing site conditions into actionable digital models that drive accuracy, safety, and efficiency throughout the construction lifecycle.
Position Overview
The Reality Capture Specialist will deploy state‑of‑the‑art scanning technologies to create comprehensive digital documentation of construction projects. This role requires fluency in laser scanning that serve as critical deliverables for internal Virtual Construction teams, external partners, and project stakeholders.
Deliverables include:
Floor heat maps for space planning and occupancy analysis
High‑fidelity point clouds for design verification and coordination
Integrated digital models supporting BIM workflows and clash detection
Quantitative progress documentation and milestone tracking
Existing condition surveys for renovation and retrofit projects
Travel Expectation: This position is based at the HITT Headquarters in Falls Church, VA, but requires 50%‑75% travel to local and national job sites depending on project assignments.
Responsibilities:
Field Data Acquisition
Execute terrestrial laser scanning and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) scan deployments at active construction sites
Develop comprehensive site documentation protocols to capture existing conditions, construction progress, and quality assurance data
Collaborate with project teams to develop scan planning strategies aligned with project phases and deliverable requirements
Data Processing & Deliverable Generation
