Engineer (3D Documentation & NDT)

Key Responsibilities Conduct UAV (drone) inspections for façades, roofs, towers, and other hard-to-access areas Plan and execute aerial and terrestrial surveys using: Photogrammetry (SfM) for high-resolution 3D reconstruction LiDAR scanning (terrestrial and/or mobile) for accurate spatial capture Thermal imaging for building diagnostics Process and manage reality capture data, including: Generation of point clouds, orthophotos, and textured 3D models Registration, alignment, and cleaning of LiDAR datasets Integration of multi-source data (UAV, LiDAR, photography) into coherent models Production of deliverables for analysis (CAD drawings, BIM-ready models, mesh outputs) Perform non-destructive testing (NDT), including: Infrared thermography Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Rebound hammer testing Moisture and salt analysis (for heritage materials) Assist in condition surveys and defect mapping of historic structures using 2D and 3D platforms Analyse inspection and diagnostic data to: Identify material deterioration and structural issues Correlate NDT findings with 3D spatial data Support evidence-based conservation strategies Prepare technical reports, drawings, and visualisations with clear conservation recommendations Support conservation and diagnosis projects, including: Material investigation and testing Long-term monitoring and documentation Digital archiving of heritage assets Requirements Degree in Civil, Mechanical Engineering, Building, Architecture, or related field Certified UAV pilot (CAAS licensed or equivalent) Experience with NDT methods in building or infrastructure inspection Familiarity with heritage materials (e.g., lime plaster, stone, brick, metals) is an advantage Experience with photogrammetry software (e.g., Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape) preferred Strong analytical and report-writing skills Ability to work both on-site and in office-based analysis
