BSC is currently seeking a Remote Sensing Technician to support our Geomatics team. This role focuses on spatial data processing, point cloud analysis, and production of professional survey and mapping deliverables for projects across New England, with periodic field data collection to support remote sensing workflows. The position requires strong technical aptitude, attention to accuracy, and the ability to work efficiently under aggressive project schedules.

Required Fundamentals:

• Fundamental understanding of remote sensing workflows including LiDAR, photogrammetry, and GNSS (RTK preferred)
• Understanding of spatial data accuracy, control, and QA/QC procedures for remote sensing deliverables
• Experience working with or extracting data from 3D point clouds
• Ability to process spatial data and learn new software efficiently
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to independently troubleshoot technical issues
• Basic understanding of data organization, file management, and version control for project deliverables
• Ability to perform field work, including carrying equipment and working outdoors in varying environmental conditions
• Ability to work effectively in a remote environment with reliable internet connectivity

Experience / Exposure (a plus, not required):

• Point cloud and photogrammetry software such as Register 360, ReCap, Pix4D Mapper and PIX4D Survey, Global Mapper, DJI Terra
• AutoCAD and Civil 3D
• 3D modeling environments such as Revit
• Planning and executing sUAS missions
• Familiarity with GNSS / RTK workflows, with experience using Leica systems preferred
• Willingness to occasionally support projects requiring overnight travel (typically 2–3 times per year)

Required Certifications & Eligibility:

• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot License (or willingness to obtain)
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to project sites

A successful team member will:

• Demonstrate a strong work ethic and ability to self-manage tasks while meeting scope, schedule, and budget constraints
• Manage assigned tasks independently and communicate progress effectively in a remote team environment
• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical team members
• Maintain high ethical standards and professionalism in all work
• Actively seek to build new technical skills and contribute to team improvement

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Remote Sensing, Geomatics, Geography, Engineering, or a related field, with approximately 1–3 years of experience in a project-based technical environment (or equivalent practical experience).

Work Environment: This position is primarily remote. Day-to-day work is performed on a company-provided laptop using specialized remote sensing, drafting, and data-processing software, with collaboration and coordination handled primarily through Microsoft Teams and phone communication. At times, the technician will travel—using a personal or company vehicle—to project sites to assist with or perform remote sensing data collection activities, which may be frequent depending on project needs. Visits to BSC office locations are expected to be infrequent. Reliable home internet access and a personal mobile phone capable of voice and data communication are required for day-to-day coordination and remote work.

BSC is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are dedicated to diverse representation on our teams, in our services, and all layers of leadership. We are focused on identifying and dismantling barriers that lead to a more diverse workforce including working diligently to expose underrepresented groups to engineering, science, and design through STEM programs, education and outreach, and industry involvement. We continue to strive to maximize benefits to the communities we impact through diversity and inclusion in strategy and design.
