Company Overview
Join the Terresky team, a leader utilizing world-class technology to bring complex environments—from construction sites to entire cities—directly to stakeholders through geospatial digital twins.

Job Overview
As a Geospatial Data Specialist at Terresky, you will bridge the gap between physical reality and digital analysis.

Field Data Collection:
Walk active construction sites or urban environments weekly to capture 360-degree hi-res video and imagery of 100% of the site.
Operate and maintain high-tech hardware, including 360-degree cameras, terrestrial lidar scanners, or drones.
Initiate data transfer at the end of each collection day to ensure raw files are ready for processing.
Adhere strictly to safety protocols, wearing all required PPE (hard hat, vest, glasses, boots, etc.) on-site.
Data Processing & ArcGIS Analysis
Use ArcGIS Reality and ArcGIS GeoBIM to transform raw imagery and lidar point clouds into detailed 3D representations and digital twins.
Integrate diverse datasets, including BIM (Building Information Modeling), GIS layers, and photogrammetry, into a central repository.
Perform spatial and temporal analysis to forecast events, monitor changes over time, and identify patterns like "hot spots" for maintenance.
Utilize AI and deep learning models to identify and sort objects within the visual data.
Collaborate with Field Operations Managers to ensure processed models provide maximum contextual awareness for clients.
Qualifications
Technical Skills: Familiarity with ArcGIS software (Pro, Online, or GeoBIM) and an understanding of GIS technology.
Blueprint Reading: Ability to read and interpret architectural floor plans and blueprints.
Communication & Accountability: Strong communication skills are imperative for independent work.
Adaptability: Ability to adapt to changing site conditions or project requirements.
Physical Requirements: Must be comfortable walking for extended periods in active construction environments.
Perks
Hands-on experience with cutting-edge reality capture and digital twin technology.
Flexible schedule for data processing tasks.
Exposure to various industries, including construction and urban planning.
Mentorship from experts in AI, computer vision, and geospatial science.
