Field Layout & Digital Survey Coordinator
Role Summary
We are a technology-forward residential construction and development firm rebuilding high-performance homes in the Pacific Palisades. This role sits at the intersection of field layout, surveying workflows, and onsite construction technology.
The Field Layout & Digital Survey Coordinator is responsible for owning all digital-to-physical translation on site. Ensuring that models, plans, and layouts are accurately reflected in the field using the latest tools, devices, and workflows.
This is not a traditional surveyor role, it’s the future of surveying, but candidates with surveying, layout, or field engineering backgrounds tend to excel here, especially those comfortable with tablets, 3D models, and evolving construction tech.
What You’ll Do
- Manage all onsite construction technology (GNSS, total stations, AR, field software, model access, scanning tools, etc.)
- Translate architectural and 3D model data into accurate field layouts and checks
- Support layout workflows using digital plans, point clouds, and coordination drawings
- Maintain and distribute current drawings, models, and revisions to field teams
- Assist with as-built documentation, photo logs, and digital records
- Coordinate with architects, designers, and construction teams to resolve layout or model discrepancies
- Help deploy and improve digital twins, prefab coordination, and modern field processes
- Act as the tech-first problem solver onsite, keeping systems organized and usable
Ideal Background
We’re intentionally open on background. Strong candidates often come from:
- Surveying or layout roles (traditional or assistant-level)
- Field engineering or VDC support
- Construction technology or BIM-adjacent roles
- Geomatics, civil, or construction management programs
- Self-taught tech-forward construction professionals
What We’re Looking For
- Comfortable working onsite every day
- Strong spatial awareness and ability to read drawings/models
- Very comfortable with the latest technology
- Curious, organized, and detail-oriented
- Not afraid to troubleshoot, learn new tools, or improve workflows
- Early- to mid-career candidates encouraged to apply
Tools You May Work With
(Experience with some is helpful, none are required)
- Revit / BIM viewers
- Bluebeam, PlanGrid, Procore, or similar
- 3D models, point clouds, or scan data
- iPads, field laptops, site tech hardware
- Emerging prefab and digital construction tools
Why This Role Matters
This role is central to how we build. We rely on precision, speed, and technology to rebuild smarter homes faster. You’ll be embedded with the construction team while working closely with design and technology leadership.
If you like being on site, enjoy layout and accuracy, and are excited by where construction is heading, not where it’s been, this role is for you!
Growth Path
This role can grow into:
- Construction Technology Lead
- VDC / Digital Delivery Manager
- Field Engineering or Operations Leadership
- Specialized prefab or digital twin roles
Requirements
Physical requirements:
- Walk, climb stairs, sit, and stand.
- Talk and hear at normal levels.
- See with close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and have the ability to adjust focus.
- Reach with hands and arms.
- Use hands and fingers to operate tools and other business machines.
- Lift and/or move up to 50 lbs
Benefits
