Photogrammetry & LiDAR Processing Specialist (Large-Scale Projects)

Remote | Contract or Part-Time (Ongoing Work, Core Processing Team)

We are an aerial survey and geospatial data company supporting large-area and corridor-scale projects across infrastructure, energy, and mapping. We’re looking for an experienced Photogrammetry & LiDAR Processing Specialist to become part of our core processing team.

This role is for someone who has processed real, large datasets, understands accuracy and QC, and can independently take projects from raw data to client-ready deliverables.

What You’ll Work On

You will support a mix of photogrammetry, LiDAR, and multi-sensor projects, including:

Photogrammetry (Large-Scale)

Process large RGB and multi-band datasets

Generate:

Orthomosaics

Dense point clouds

DSM / DTM

Handle large-area tiling, blending, seamlines, and edge matching

Optimize workflows for performance and accuracy at scale

LiDAR Processing

Process raw LiDAR point clouds (LAS/LAZ)

Clean, classify, and QC point clouds

Ground classification for topographic products

Generate:

Bare earth DEM / DTM

DSM

Contours (project-specified intervals)

Prepare classified point clouds suitable for engineering, utility, or government use

Multi-Sensor Integration

Integrate RGB imagery with LiDAR

Support combined LiDAR + photogrammetry workflows

Ensure spatial consistency across datasets

Software & Tools (You Don’t Need All, But You Need Depth)

Core

Agisoft Metashape (strongly preferred)

LAStools / TerraScan / TerraModeler

Global Mapper

QGIS / ArcGIS

CloudCompare

Nice to Have

Experience with Applanix / Trimble trajectories

Understanding of PPK / GNSS workflows

Experience working with very large datasets (hundreds of GB to TB)

Quality, Accuracy & Ownership

Validate horizontal and vertical accuracy

Understand projections, datums, and coordinate systems

Perform QC checks and fix classification or alignment issues

Deliver data that is ready for client use, not “close enough”

Flag data quality issues early and propose solutions

Who This Role Is For

You should apply if you:

Have real experience processing large-scale photogrammetry and/or LiDAR

Have delivered orthomosaics and point clouds at scale

Can work independently and manage your own processing pipeline

Understand why accuracy, consistency, and documentation matter

Want to be part of a long-term processing team, not just one project

This role is not a fit if:

You’ve only processed small drone datasets

You rely entirely on default settings without understanding outcomes

You need constant step-by-step instruction

Working Style

Remote and async-friendly

Clear scopes and milestones

You own your processing tasks end-to-end

Ongoing work available for the right person

How to Apply

Please include:

A brief overview of your photogrammetry and LiDAR experience

Examples of large-scale projects you’ve processed (area size, data type)

Software tools you are proficient in

Sample outputs or screenshots (if available)

Your availability and hourly or project-based rate
