• Experience working on active construction job sites
• Familiarity with GNSS/GPS, RTK, total stations, or layout equipment, including setting up base stations and performing calibration
• Strong hands-on technical troubleshooting skills (hardware + software)
• Comfortable training operators and working directly with customers
• Clear communicator who can explain technical systems simply
• Prior customer-facing technical role (Field Engineer, Applications Engineer, Support Engineer, etc.)
