  • Contribute to internal process improvements and documentation, ensuring scalable delivery across multiple European countries.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Geodesy, Surveying, Geomatics, Geophysics, Civil Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • 3+ years of experience in a surveying, geospatial, GPR, or engineering environment.
  • Familiarity with common surveying principles (e.g., coordinate systems, data acquisition workflows, GNSS, GIS integration).
  • Strong technical aptitude and experience working hands‑on with instrumentation, sensors, or electronics.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts to a range of users with differing technical backgrounds.
  • Willingness to travel across Europe.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience using or supporting ground‑penetrating radar (GPR) systems.
  • Knowledge of European survey standards, geospatial regulations, or national infrastructure authority requirements.
  • Experience in pavement evaluation, utility detection, or structural inspection workflows.
  • Familiarity with cloud‑based geospatial platforms, field‑to‑office workflows, and data visualization tools.
  • Ability to create training content for surveying and engineering teams.

Core Competencies:

  • Strong geospatial and surveying understanding
  • Practical, hands‑on technical problem solving
  • Customer‑centric communication
  • Project coordination and field‑readiness
  • Ability to operate independently across multiple European markets
