Field Data Specialist - Travel position

We’re seeking someone who enjoys structured, independent work.

You will have a lot of autonomy in this role with the ability to set up a lot of your daily schedule.

You’ll succeed if you can:

• Travel out of state Monday–Friday (home most weekends)
• Use your own reliable vehicle capable of carrying a 6-foot ladder and long-distance travel
• Work outdoors in all weather conditions, climb ladders up to 30 feet, and lift up to 50 lbs.
• Use technology confidently (iPads, laptops, mobile apps, photography technology)
• Follow detailed instructions with accuracy and care
• Stay focused, organized, and self-motivated while working alone

You’ll independently drive or fly to commercial properties—like shopping centers, warehouses, or office parks—to capture precise data.

This includes using 3D cameras, laser measurement tools, and specialized software to document:

• Building measurements
• Sprinkler and HVAC locations
• Windows, signage, and landscaping
• Utility meters, dumpsters, and parking details
• Interior and exterior features requiring accurate documentation

Most of your time is spent gathering data, taking measurements, and then inputting data while ensuring accuracy.

Communication with property managers to gather access information is necessary for appointments and arrival times.

Overall, while communication is minimal, you must be comfortable assertively and proactively reaching out to your Regional Manager as well as asking questions to trainers, mentors, and peers.

Communication happens remotely and is typically brief and professional but must be clear.

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have Experience In:

Site surveys, inspections, CAD, or GIS mapping, and data entry

Construction, HVAC, electrical, or similar hands-on fields

Land surveying, utility locating, archaeology, drone photography, or other remote fieldwork

Veterans are welcome!

If you enjoy traveling, working quietly and independently, and using technology to help support solving problems, this role offers a unique blend of autonomy, routine, and adventure.

There is room for growth, mentoring others, and even movement within other departments if you’ve demonstrated success in the field.
