Field Data Collections Technician

This role has travel, schedule, and physical demands that differ substantially from a typical field job. We would rather be direct about them now than have you discover them in week three of a deployment.

You will travel, and often travel alone . Technicians are frequently deployed to project sites independently rather than as part of a crew.

Deployments run for weeks at a time . Length is set by project scope and client schedule.

During high season, you stay in the field . We cover travel to and from each deployment, accommodation, and per diem, but do not routinely provide interim return flights home between assignments during peak periods.

Time off requires four weeks' notice , so that crew coverage and project schedules can be planned around it.

Early starts . Shifts commonly begin at 6:00 AM and run 8–10 hours to make full use of available daylight.

5 to 6 days per week while deployed, including occasional weekend work and overtime.

Full physical days in all three modes — up to 8 hours driving, or 8–10 hours riding an e-scooter, or 8–10 hours walking and measuring on foot, or a combination within the same day.

You handle the gear . Daily setup, mounting, unmounting, and transport of collection equipment, some components exceeding 20 kg.

If those conditions work for you, the rest of this role is a good one: real ownership, clear procedures, and a direct line of sight from your work to a city's capital plan.

Operate the collection vehicle and LiDAR system to capture roadway and pavement data on assigned projects.

Operate survey e-scooters and our mobile collection application to capture video and geospatial data across sidewalk networks.

Work on foot to collect attributes, measurements, and condition data for sidewalks and curb ramps, including physical measurement of ramp geometry and slopes.

Follow Citylogix's proprietary collection procedures and use company-provided devices and applications exactly as trained.

Switch between vehicle, scooter, and on-foot collection as project scope and daily schedules require, according to the scope of the project.

Transfer collected data daily using company software, following verification procedures exactly.

Meet delivery and quality targets on every project, and flag data or equipment problems in the field before they reach processing.

Coordinate daily with other Data Collection team members, field leads, and the office to keep project execution on track.

Handle daily equipment setup, mounting, care, and transport according to company procedures.

Willingness and physical capability to perform all three collection modes — no technician is limited to a single system.

Extreme attention to detail, and the discipline to follow procedures exactly rather than approximately.

Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, and to stay focused across long shifts.

Comfort with computers, mobile applications, and structured data entry.

Clear, prompt communication — raising problems early rather than resolving them silently.

Problem-solving ability in a dynamic field environment where conditions and schedules change.

Reliability. Crews and project schedules are built around people showing up and delivering.

Previous in-the-field or on-the-road data collection experience.

Surveying, civil engineering, or pavement management background.

Associate degree in science, engineering, or geography/GIS.

Willingness to travel:

100% (required)
