Survey CAD/ VDC Specialist

Elevation Technical Services is building a next-generation service offering that combines survey, reality capture, and digital construction workflows and we’re looking for the right person to be part of it.

This isn’t a traditional CAD or VDC role.

You’ll be working at the intersection of field data and digital delivery, transforming real-world site conditions into accurate models, insights, and deliverables that directly impact how projects are built.

From processing survey data and point clouds to supporting QA/QC workflows and model coordination, you’ll be hands-on with cutting-edge tools and workflows that are redefining construction.

If you’re someone who wants to move beyond siloed drafting or modeling and be part of building a modern, technology-driven workflow from the ground up - this is that opportunity.
