Introduction to XYZ

XYZ Reality are the creators of the world's first and only engineering-grade Augmented Reality solution, purpose built for the construction industry. Not only have we created this holographic technology, that sits within The ATOM – a smart, site-safe headset - but we also provide implementation and consultancy on the Data Centre and Mission Critical projects that the AR solution is being used on to ensure that all schemes are completed according to the delivery timescales set out, and fall within budget - that's what we're here for!

Over the last few years XYZ has grown to over 120 staff across the US, UK, Europe and Asia and is working with prestigious, market-leading Data Centre and Mission Critical organisations / construction companies to successfully deliver major projects globally.

Mobile / Travelling Field Engineer / Surveyor Opportunity

As an Engineer / Surveyor at XYZ, you'll be wearing the ATOM on daily basis and using it to eliminate construction and design errors on site, which would otherwise lead to costly and time-consuming rework. You'll visualise the design models in holograms through the visor, and provide regular updates of potential clashes/errors in what has been, or is to be, installed by verifying what you're seeing in front of you.

You will be responsible for training new users and staff members, setting up new projects and establishing the on-site workflows with the relevant site teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conducting field inspections using the ATOM (Augmented Reality headset) to ensure works are installed/being installed correctly, as per the BIM Model.

  • Training new users of the ATOM - either new staff, or client/contractor teams

  • Producing reports based on the inspections carried out

  • Attending meetings to coordinate with clients and contractors

  • Processing and reviewing all acquired data to ensure it is accurate and reliable.

  • Maintain an efficient workflow and ensuring all requested inspections are conducted within the specified time frame.

  • Working with the Contractor to devise a weekly lookahead of inspections in line with the master construction programme in order to de-risk incorrect installation from taking place in the field.

  • Obtaining and preparing the latest approved Revit models to export into HoloSite

  • Linking models to schedules

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

There's no other company like us, and we know that you're going to need training on the ATOM and how we work because we are the ones who have created it, so you won't have used it previously. If you're interested in applying we encourage you to do so!

A couple of things that would help your application:

  • Experience OR qualification in land surveying, construction/civil engineering, geospatial or geodesy or similar

  • Ability to operate a Total Station / traverse control points

  • A strong work ethic, ambition and interest in new technology

  • Some / any knowledge related to either 3D software (Revit, Navisworks etc) or BIM is beneficial but not essential

  • Must be confident in using Microsoft Office - Outlook, Word & Excel

  • Essential: US Citizen or permanent US resident (we are not permitted to provide VISA sponsorship)

  • Essential: You must have a clean criminal record and be prepared to undergo background checks and drug tests. The projects we work on have security requirements.

Benefits of working for XYZ Reality

  • Salary c. $65,000 - $85,000

  • 25 days (5 WEEKS) PTO + public holidays on top

  • Employer healthcare contributions

  • Travel expenses (transport & accommodation) covered by company whilst on assignment

  • Working on-site on major multimillion/billion dollar construction projects in the most fruitful and ever-growing sub-sectors (data centres, pharma, aviation, nuclear etc)

  • Travel opportunities - you'll never get stagnant as you'll be moving around and visiting different cities!

  • Push boundaries and deliver cutting-edge technology that is going to change the construction industry forever

  • Professional development opportunities
